I’ll be kicking off the 2005 Fall Migration Radar Study when I return from the AOU conference at the end of the month. If you’re unfamiliar with the study, please read last season’s description to familiarize yourself. I looks like migration is getting underway, with some really nice fall warbler days already reported from Cape May and Palmayra. The sod farms are picking up, with ‘Grasspipers’ (Upland, Buff-breasted, and Baird’s sandpipers) all being seen in the past two weeks. American Golden Plovers should be showing up very soon.
