Where else could I expect good birding in late October? Farm fields. This time of year, some of the best birding happens along hedgerows and weedy field edges, where food for migrating seed-eaters is plentiful. Don’t neglect unpaved roads. Although tundra birds prefer Maine fields and mudflats while passing through, dirt roads will do in a pinch. ~ Bob Duchesne
