Today on The Point, it's our monthly Bird News with ornithologist Mark Faherty, science coordinator at Mass Audubon's Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.

We’ll talk about the epic week-long seabird blitz on Cape Cod Bay and the fish that caused it; we’ll cover the winter finch forecast for feeder watchers; we discuss how bald eagle sightings are still exciting even though they nest here now; and we’ll talk about the November arrivals to look for in your yard.
