Fall is wonderful for birding, with the peak of the migration coming through. Vern Laux and Mindy Todd bring us the monthly bird news. This month's featured bird song is the nighttime migration call -- an amazing phenomenon as thousands of birds fly overhead at night on their journey on an "avian highway". This month's Bird Brain Quiz: What is the term used to describe a group of starlings? The answer is a murmuration (here's a link to a video).
