- **Event Description**: ? Give your traveling neighborhood birds the ultimate send-off and high-energy fuel they need for the long road south! ?️?

As the late summer air begins to cool, an incredible natural phenomenon is quietly kicking off right above our heads. Millions of birds are starting to gather, store fat, and prepare for their massive annual migration journeys.

Join us for the grand finale—Session 4 of our Summer Backyard Birding Series! We’ll teach you everything you need to know about how and why migration happens, and exactly how to adjust your backyard feeders to support these tired avian travelers as they pass through Minnesota.

? What We'll Cover:
The Science of Migration: Why do birds migrate? Learn about the fascinating instinctual triggers, navigation methods, and flight routes used by different species.

High-Octane Fueling: Discover the best high-energy, high-fat foods (like specific suets, seeds, and mealworms) to help birds build up the critical fat reserves required for sustained flight.

The Ultimate Feeder Myth: We’ll answer the ultimate question once and for all: How late should you actually keep your hummingbird and oriole feeders up? (Hint: Leaving them up won't stop them from migrating, but it will save a life!).

Fall Yard Clean-up Advice: Simple tweaks to your backyard layout, shelter options, and water sources to provide a perfect rest stop for traveling birds.

⏱I Duration: 45–60 minutes of essential late-summer birding knowledge.
