The mystery feather belongs to a Cedar Waxwing! 🪶

Ever wonder how waxwings got their name? Those bright red, waxy-looking tips on their wing feathers are actually what inspired it! They're formed from a wax like substance containing red carotenoid pigments, giving them the appearance of tiny drops of sealing wax.

Not all Cedar Waxwings have the same number of red tips. They generally develop more as they mature, and researchers believe they may play a role in signaling a bird's age and quality to potential mates. 🐦❤️

Look what we found! 🪶

This might look like an ordinary feather at first glance, but there’s something pretty special about it. ❤️

And just like that… it looks like our hummingbirds have all headed south! ❤️

We saw our last hummingbird on the feeder cam four days ago and we’re wondering if any of you still seeing hummingbirds in your yards?

If your hummingbird visitors have left for the season, now is a good time to give your feeder a thorough cleaning before storing it away for the winter. Be sure to wash all parts well with a 10% bleach solution and let everything dry completely before putting it away.

It’s always a little bittersweet saying goodbye to these tiny travelers, but we’ll be looking forward to seeing them again next spring. Safe travels! 🤗

🍂Fall migration turns your backyard into a potential pit stop for birds on the move, and a few smart tweaks can make it irresistible! 🌿✨

🌻 Leave seed-producing plants standing to provide natural food sources.
🌳 Add a brush pile or two for shelter and protection.
🐦Create low-lying feeding areas where ground-feeding birds feel comfortable.
🧼Clean and repair feeders, and make sure they’re easy to refill during the winter months.
🔄 Keep food fresh and consistent—even in small amounts—so passing birds remember your yard as a reliable stop along their journey.

You know about bird migration. You know about Monarch migration. But did you know dragonflies migrate too? ✈️

September is an important time for dragonfly migration when millions of dragonflies can be making their way south across North America. 🌎 One of the species known for this incredible journey is the Common Green Darner. Some travel hundreds of kilometres, and dragonflies can use shorelines, valleys and other landscape features to help guide their movements. 💚

Have you noticed more dragonflies around lately?

What a wonderful weekend in Newmarket! 🌿🐦

Wild Birds Unlimited Newmarket was proud to be part of the grand opening celebration for Mulock Park, Newmarket’s newest community gathering space. Mulock Park is a beautiful new addition to Newmarket, with 16 acres of greenspace, trails, natural areas, a natural discovery playscape, public art and plenty of opportunities to connect with nature. 🐦🌳

We had so much fun at our table helping visitors create their very own clay birds! We loved seeing all the creativity, and it was especially nice to see so many families and community members stopping by to get creative and talk about the birds we all enjoy seeing in our own backyards. 💚

A big thank you to the Town of Newmarket for inviting us to be part of such a special opening weekend, and to everyone who stopped by our table to make a bird with us!

We can't wait to see how Mulock Park grows into a place where the community can come together, explore and enjoy nature for years to come!
