It’s a time of transition—many breeding species have left the state, while some species that winter here are just arriving.
Some of Vermont birds of prey have moved on: Osprey, Red-shouldered Hawks, and Turkey Vultures all leave by early November and return around March. Meanwhile, the Yellow-rumped Warbler, the very last warbler to migrate out of state may be found for just a few more weeks.
