The Martha’s Vineyard Bird Club is a new group for people interested in birds.

The southbound migration is complex.

What is up with blue jays? They are loud, exuberant and aggressive!

By the end of September, most of our ruby-throated hummingbirds will have left.

The morning of Sept. 11 was ideal for finding migrating songbirds. The night before was pleasant and the winds were out of the northwest, so the nocturnal migrating songbirds had favorable tailwinds.

As recently as 20 years ago, we would find a roosting flock with a thousand or more terns, primarily common and roseate terns with occasional Forster's and black terns, on the bay side of Norton Point Beach.
