Southwest winds kept birds down last night as high pressure continues to dominate our region. Small numbers of birds were seen moving out of northwestern New York, as winds up there were generally out of the west. Expect this lull in migration to continue through the weekend until the next cold front makes it into the area early next week.
Sparrow diversity is on the rise, and neotropical migrants continue to make their way down into the state- so get out there and check those hedgerows!
Good Birding

Very quiet at the Celey Farm as expected–but PURPLE FINCHES continue daily here–feasting on the seeds of ash trees, etc. A nice adult male was present this morning. Waterfowl diversity and #’s are increasing–with Am. Wigeon, Gadwall, GW Teal, Shoveler, and PB Grebe accounted for today. Some of the male Wood Ducks have acquired their fresh breeding plumage again.
Looking forward to the next cold front–whenever that will be!
