Fall 2004 Migration at Kennesaw Mountain

The fall season begins in the early July with the arrival of the first migrants around the 4th of the month. The first arrivals are usually Black-and-White Warbler, Northern Parula and Black-throated Green Warbler. The migration slowly builds over the next few weeks as Cerulean and Worm-eating Warblers begin to pass through. By the end of the first week of August, Prairie and Hooded Warblers are making an appearance. The migration picks up in late August and into September, peaking towards the middle of the month. The last weeks of September and the first week of October are still excellent for Neo-tropical migrants. With the arrival of the Yellow-rumped Warbler in early October we start to see migration come to an end. By the middle of October we sometimes experience one or two of the later, rarer species and the arrival of our wintering species. In late October the migration is over. Fall migration last much longer than spring, and it is always a challenge identifying fall warblers and to find unusual surprises such as Short-eared Owl or Virginia's Warbler or last year's Black-throated Gray Warbler!
