This from the Wisconsin bird net, a perspective on migration to the south and east. Jim Williams Wayzata
30 warbler species - Prairie, Yellow-throated, & YB ChatIt sounds like Sean experienced a pretty good "island-concentration" effect within his woods; this is no surprise as last night's migration was the best on radar since the night of the 9th-10th. A look at the weather map shows a very typical spring migration scenario with a big high off to the east such that the southerly flow from the high provided a nice tailwind ahead of a cold front. Migration is detected on radar usually into mid-June but I'll bet that this was the last big May night; hope I'm wrong.
