October is an exciting time for birding in the Sacramento area. Many fall favorites return to the area: Crowned Sparrows, Hermit Thrush, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, and Yellow-rumped Warblers.

For the second year, Sacramento Audubon Society participated in Chalk It Up!, a local arts festival/arts fundraiser in Midtown Sacramento held annually on Labor Day Weekend.

As part of the Pacific Flyway, millions of birds make their way through Sacramento and the Central Valley every year. Many of these remarkable migrations occur under the cover of darkness. Artificial lights attract and disorient migrating birds.

Sacramento Audubon was founded in 1950, and for over seventy years has always relied on volunteers. Truly countless hours have been spent on organizing birding trips, education, fund raising, and protecting wild birds.
