Spring Migration

For each species shown below, we have created spring migration maps that show the winter range, the migratory path, and the dates when you might expect to see the first arrivals in your area. The maps depict average early arrival dates based on many years of data and are intended to show the first wave of arrivals in each area. In any year, a few birds may arrive earlier than the dates shown. Find out more about migration.
