Southeasterly flow appears to have kept most birds down over night, although the radar did pick up something moving across the radar from E–>W. The signal appears to be birds, so we’ll go with a tentative “light” migration for last night. Inland sites should be best given the circumstances, but my experience at Garret Mountain yesterday (after another such flight) was that birds were very patchily distributed. Flickers, Sapsuckers, Robins and White-throated Sparrows were the most dominant, with a smattering of warblers (HY Blackpolls, Black-and-whites, and a Nashville), R.C. Kinglets, and Swamp, Chipping, and Savannah Sparrows. FOS Dark-eyed Junco at the radio tower made my “day” (although I know they’ve been reported elsewhere already).
Good Birding
