Comments on: NE Migration in Full Swing http://www.woodcreeper.com/2004/09/10/ne-migration-in-full-swing/ We're tracking bird migration over New Jersey using Doppler radar and a community of diehard birdwatchers Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:58:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: David http://www.woodcreeper.com/2004/09/10/ne-migration-in-full-swing/comment-page-1/#comment-32 David Sun, 12 Sep 2004 02:57:17 +0000 http://www.woodcreeper.com/?p=51#comment-32 I just got back from Cape May, and I can tell you that the sentiments were similar to Wendy and Stuart's...well, not exactly a "doorknob", but definitely less than would have been expected. Winds were out of the East first thing in the morning, which has a history of shifting the morning flight away from Higbee's. There were some highlights (Red-headed Woodpecker, 5 Hudsonian Godwits, Lark Sparrow, many Kestrels and Merlins, and a single Great Cormorant) but passerines were clearly elsewhere. cheers David I just got back from Cape May, and I can tell you that the sentiments were similar to Wendy and Stuart’s…well, not exactly a “doorknob”, but definitely less than would have been expected.

It was dead as a doorknob! There is always hope for another day but probably not tomorrow.
