While most bird lovers don’t associate March with spring migration, a unique and underappreciated suite of bird species can be seen starting to migrate. Given the right conditions spectacular movements of robins, blackbirds, geese, and cranes may be seen, sometimes numbering in the thousands.
Unlike with the warblers of peak spring, the migrants in March are often seen actively migrating in the hours after sunrise. With a smaller number of species to worry about, this makes for an ideal opportunity to start learning how to identify birds in flight.
