If you don’t consider bird-watching one of your hobbies, give it time. I watched my grandparents watch birds in their backyard when I was a kid, and thought, “Man, they’re old!” Now, my parents have bird feeders set up everywhere so they can see colorful birds in their spare time. And yet, I still say to myself, “That will never be me.” Well, this is the month when everyone can be a bird watcher as many species return to Iowa just in time for Spring.
What Birds Will Return to Iowa in March?
The Iowa City Bird Club has a fantastic site dedicated to all bird species in Iowa, and when they will return for their Spring migration. While a few birds like Finches and Waxwings increase in late February, the scene really heats up in March. According to the Iowa City Bird Club’s month-by-month bird calendar, the Northern Migration brings thousands of birds back to Iowa, including Bluebirds, Robins, Redwing Blackbirds, Killdeer, and more.
