That’s right, More Birds! Many of which are probably bilingual, at least. I wish I could show you the radar- but when I went to download it this morning the script had hit a snag. What a bummer! It was pretty impressive….
…anyway; Migration was heavy throughout the night and pretty much followed the standard SW->NE trajectory throughout the region. High densities were everywhere, and I would expect the spring migrant trap locations to be hopping this morning- although not fallout conditions given the very conducive (to migration) atmosphere. As I often do this time of year, I’ll get into my “broken record” routine: the northwest Delaware Bay shore, Garret Mountain, Sandy Hook, and (for the NY birders who I often unintentionally neglect) Central Park will all be good bets today. Cape May should also be good, as good numbers were seen crossing over the peninsula early this morning… and who knows, maybe the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher will have stuck around! (wishful thinking, given the heavy migration traffic last night, but stranger things have happened!).
I’m off to scout the South for the upcoming big day.
Good Birding

Prospect beats Central any day.
Sandy Hook was quiet. Could barely muster 12 species of warbler. Baltimore Orioles were well represented as were Black-throated Greens. Looks like Garret Mtn. was the place to be today. Wrong decision made again. Drats!!!
