A lot of us in Cape May had written off a night flight since the winds were forecast to go south overnight, and they did. I wasn't out listening in the dark, but there was a good morning flight at Higbee Beach heading straight into the wind (going south instead of the usual northbound morning flight). Doug Gochfeld counted 8,997 birds. I summarized the mix at http://www.birdcapemay.org/blog/
