Re: [nysbirds-l] Slingshot birds
I know that I’m not the only one wondering what a “slingshot event” is. Are you referring to migrants overshooting their destination?

[nysbirds-l] Slingshot birds
Shai Mitra and I traveled to RI today for Easter, gnashing teeth, tearing hair, and keening (Shai is, contrary to all expectation, one eighth Irish and prone to keening) about missing a possible/probable slingshot event on our Long Island beaches today, given the favorable weather conditions for just such an event. As it turns out, multiple reports of early trans-gulf migrants from coastal Rhode Island today (E. Kingbird, Indigo Bunting, Blue Grosbeak, Scarlet Tanager, Summer Tanager, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak) proved our predictions to be true, and we're wondering if anyone on coastal LI found any evidence of this event, other than my 6 year old great nephew, Orion, who called us from his grandfather's house in Shirley to report a Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
