On average 167 species are seen.

Believe it or not fall migration has started. Post-breeding dispersal is also visible while the adults and young get ready for their trip south.

Goldfinches may be seen getting seeds from spent flowers for their young (they're late breeders).

Fall warblers in their "drab color" can be seen passing through. Bay-breasted, Canada, Magnolia and Black-throated Blue warblers are among the first to do so. Woodlots along the lakeshore in the late afternoon and early evenings are good locations to find them.

Freshley plowed fields can hold migrating plovers.

Mudflats at Irondequoit Bay and Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge are great spots for shorebirds. The Geneseo airport can be pretty good.
