In early October, biodiversity observations in Mexico highlighted the seasonal blooming of wildflowers such as Commelina in the Sierra de Juárez, which support local insects and mammals. During this period, ruby-throated hummingbirds were also noted traversing Tamaulipas, utilizing the Sierra Madre Oriental for nourishment.

By mid-October, focus expanded to include conservation and monitoring efforts in both Chile and Mexico. In Chile, the Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero (SAG) issued guidance to protect nesting areas and implemented sanitary surveillance to monitor for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) as birds migrate from the Northern Hemisphere. Simultaneously, in Veracruz, Mexico, thousands of migratory raptors were observed crossing toward Central and South America, with the Pronatura project facilitating public observation and education at the Chichicaxtle raptor observatory.
