It has technically been fall since Tues. Sept. 22, but October means definite bird migration season in North America. Bird watcher blog Duncraft.com describes how “when winter descends, birds have little trouble relocating to warmer climates and more plentiful food sources.”

For those birds that regularly migrate, people have started spotting them all over the place.

Twitterers keep reporting on the flocks:
