Nope- it doesn’t look like birds made it through the frontal boundary, which makes me think there was a fallout somewhere around the Delmarva, given the amount of activity on the Norfolk VA radar last night (and all points south of there). Unfortunately, I don’t see any evidence of such a fallout, as none of the lists from those states are reporting exceptionally good days today (at least thus far). There were reports of “new birds (FOS)” for each state, indicating that some new stuff moved in, but not the big “downing” of birds I would have expected with the migration and storms obvious last night…interesting. A sighting of note, though, was a Swallow-tailed Kite in Virginia…maybe one will make it up this way!

I was in Belleplain State Forest on Monday morning. I had new birds for the year such as Ovenbird and Black and white Warbler, but these birds were here from over the weekend at least. Nothing new had arrived this morning (Sunday night) as far as my friends and I could determine. Guess that frontal boundary did keep them south of it. I always wonder though because they did start moving that night. But stopped when hit the frontal boundary. If later in May, would they keep going? Maybe some. Hey, send that Swallow-tailed Kite over my house someone!
