I was just checking out the weather forecast (and keeping an eye on Earl) and noted that the winds should remain out of the northwest over the next two nights, bringing more birds to the region on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Winds are expected to turn southwest on Wednesday which will effectively shut down migration until Friday. As Earl makes its way up the east coast, though, things will quickly shape up for another series of migration events beginning as early as Friday night. Interestingly, the wind models suggest that the main source of birds for the weekend events will be to our west-northwest, unlike this past week where most birds came from our north or northeast. I’d be interested to know how everyone thinks this might play out in terms of species showing up over the weekend.

Good Birding,

David
