I'd been looking at the local wind forecast, noticing a bunch of southerlies in the coming days, and so expected (or hoped) that would translate to a big push. But then I decided to check the wind forecast for Richmond VA and Raleigh NC (as two arbitrary datapoints south of us) and they both show northerly winds through the weekend. This would imply that the big stall continues somewhere south of us, and the big push may not arrive til next week. Suan PS. Scouting Hammond Hill this morning (for this weekend's CBC field trip, Saturday 8:30am, meet at lab), I heard raven and winter wren and blue-headed vireo and many black-throated-greens and ovenbirds; and ran across two hermit thrushes. Lot's of mosquito-like insects about, alas. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
