August - Shorebirds Heading South
Oct. 25, 2016, 8:11 a.m.
August is a great time to see plovers, sanderlings and other shorebirds in Wisconsin as they migrate south for the winter. Shorebirds migrate long distances, some from as far north as the Arctic Circle to parts of South America. One of the largest plovers in North Americaâthe black-bellied ploverâcan be seen in Wisconsin now, but it will have already molted its distinctive black belly. Keep a sharp eye out at the shoreâs edge for sanderlings and sandpipers.

Nighthawk migration is at its peak in late August. Sometimes you can see thousands of nighthawks in one evening. The birds leave northern Wisconsin early to avoid the early frosts that kill the flying insects they eat. They winter in southern South America, making their migratory journey one of the longest for North American birds. Despite their name, nighthawks are most active at dawn and dusk. You can see them flying over open fields and along roads, twisting and turning as they try to capture insects in flight.
