Iâm wondering about the rewards of âafter supperâ excursions in the
specific
context of migrating songbirds. Are migrants less likely to be active if they
are
planning to hit the road overnight? Thanks for your insights.

Subject: [mou-net] Migration Thursday
A significant migration of songbirds and other bird species is predicted for
Minnesota tonight, Thursday, Sept. 3, by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
The lab calls this a high-intensity migration, hundreds of thousands to
millions of birds depending on location. The map for the Twin Cities and
Common Nite-Hawks, Chimney Swifts And Barn Swallows just flew around my pond
and Complex in Minnetonka and moved off to the south!

Hey birders,
Reports of Canada Geese in the area are picking up and the Bethany
Hawkwatch has already recorded 35 migrant raptors this week. The early
version of Spring is on the way!
Happy birding!

I had over 100 Franklin's gulls circling quite low over my yard feasting on
what I call the ant party (when winged-ants disperse). This was my 142nd yard
bird. They were heading towards Black Dog. This is how I got my Hennepin Cty.

Sora yesterday, couple of Yellow-rumped; even migrants from a week ago (like
Fox Sparrows & E. Bluebirds) are negligible.

As I walked through the Tangletown neighborhood of St. Paul near Macalester
College this morning, a Golden-winged Warbler and a Wood Thrush were among the

As March wanes, am 10-30 species ahead of every year back to 2006; another
piece of anecdotal evidence that migration is 1-2 weeks early.

I provided a link to this yesterday but found it so helpful that I decided to
provide more details for those who may have missed my first message.
NOAA and Cornell have teamed up to provide migration forecasts. Some info from
their first report:

There's been tons of action at the refuge today - warblers, vireos, grosbeaks -

are feeding on Virginia creeper berries. A really scruffy-looking cardinal

It has been slow so far but had a Wilson's Warbler at Dunton Locks Park in
Detroit Lakes and a few yellowlegs at Hamden Slough. Water levels at Bisson
Lake have not yet been lowered so there is not much mud.

Must have had a good night for migration, got up this morning to a ton of
Robins in the yard all fighting over the water dishes I have in the front
yard.. I also had an adult Baltimore Oriole in my front Birch tree. I
still have plenty of Hummers and I noticed more Chipping Sparrows in the

Is anyone else experiencing a bit of a slow migration? Warbler and vireo
species are light, most represented by 1-3 individuals; shorebirds are
virtually non-existent here in Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties.
