[nysbirds-l] Winds Aloft next couple days - more shorebirds to arrive???
Looking at the wind forecasts Today through Thursday, winds will be from northwest up through 15000 feet. The wind trajectories are coming from around Hudson Bay. Hopefully this will lure some staging shorebirds south to NY state! The next couple days could see increased numbers and new specie arrivals. After Thursday the winds are not as favorable so whatever comes down could stick around. Possible species (some of which have been seen in the state already)- more BB Plovers, american golden-plovers, am avocets? marbled godwit? Am White Pelican?? Baird's sandpipers, more phalaropes?? more sanderlings, RUTUs. These are just some possibilities off the top of my head. Good birding to all!
