Another big push into the Upper Midwest with lakeshore concentrations expected
Trans-Gulf migration into the Texas coast was followed by widespread nocturnal migration across most of the country last night. Notable exceptions were the areas under the control of high pressure such as New England and the Four Corners region of the Southwestern U.S. Migration was heaviest up the central U.S. from Oklahoma to southeastern Wisconsin, and east to the Ohio Valley and Appalachian Mountains.

Woodcreeper On The Road: POINT PELEE GETS BIRDY!
This will be my last Point Pelee post since I’m not really ‘on the road’ anymore. I hope you’ve enjoyed this foray into new territory as much as I have. If you’re in the park, and can spare a moment at some point, please let me know the birding compared to previous days. From the radar, at least, it sure looks good today!!

Heavy migration up the Central U.S.
Light trans-Gulf migration along the Texas coast was followed by heavy nocturnal migration up the central U.S. last night as the latest low pressure system swept across the Upper Midwest. Light to moderate migration was present from the Central Great Lakes down through eastern Louisiana last night, but will be higher tonight as migration conditions continue to improve to the east today. Light migration was also evident throughout the Desert Southwest and coastal California through the Pacific Northwest.
