Tonight, there is the potential for another good push of southbound migrants across Southeastern Canada and Northeastern US.
If there is a descent of thrushes, with the majority being Swainson's Thrushes, this could occur sometime between 6:05 and 6:10am. The morning of Sunday, 9/15, there was a solid descent of Swainson's Thrushes (around 100 calls) between 6:06 and 6:09am. A single Dickcissel called three times just before 3:00am, the loudest call of which actually woke me up (I had my earbud headphones in as I slept). The High Pressure System that is centered over the Great Lakes right now may encourage another push of birds southward tonight and even tomorrow night. Cold overnight temps with Northerly winds are the key. Good luck night listening and good birding! Sincerely, Chris T-H -- Christopher T.
