Migration update – high flying migrants seem to have prevailed

Regional Overview

Another night of moderate migration across the entire region with no precipitation to create any concentrations of birds. Migrants traps should still be productive for the later passerines such as Mourning and Connecticut Warbler, and flycatchers. Shorebird spots should be really heating up as well.

The radar last night showed more activity further from the station leaving a donut hole effect in the middle as it didn’t detect as many low flying birds. This may be because the migration has shifted from lower flying warblers to higher flying thrushes and shorebirds.

As always, please leave me comments on what you find out in the field.
