Woodcreeper On The Road: POINT PELEE FESTIVAL OF BIRDS DAY 1
So I’m now in Leaminton, Ontario for the 2013 Point Pelee Festival of Birds and I’m really looking forward to visiting this renowned spring migration hotspot for the next two days. Many birds arrived to the region two nights ago but winds have since turned northerly and will continue to be through my visit. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects the birding conditions here and I can’t wait to get out in the field this morning!

Woodcreeper On The Road: BIGGEST WEEK IN AMERICAN BIRDING DAY 3
Todays is my last day in Ohio, and will be my first evening in Ontario as I head north to join the Festival of Birds in Point Pelee National Park. Before I head north, though, I’m going to check out the birds that await us on the Magee Marsh boardwalk. Judging by the radar it should be awesome this morning!

Birds push north as some serious storms pound the central flyway
Migration was hot and heavy last night, starting with trans-Gulf arrivals to the Texas and Louisiana coasts yesterday afternoon. Birds could be seen heading up the East, Mississippi and Central Flyways with the heaviest migration over south Florida, the Mid Atlantic, and west of the Appalachians. Heavy precipitation across East Texas and the Upper Midwest caused localized fallouts where they intercepted migrating birds early this morning. Migration was moderate throughout the western U.S. including the entire Pacific Flyway.

Another big night of migration
Heavy trans-Gulf arrival was followed by a major flight of nocturnal migrants across much of the U.S. last night. This included the entire southern tier of the country, the second big push into the Mid Atlantic and Northeast, a huge push up the Central and Mississippi Flyways and additional birds up along the Pacific coast.
