Adding this would help.

To get an idea of what was flying over my house early this morning I’m
posting this link to a checklist I just started that Includes a sound file
of the birds. If anyone has issues with a lot of noise (I live close enough
to hear the traffic on New Circle and a garden full of crickets) it might
be difficult to hear but it was fun to have them flying over (recorded on
iphone).

We sure had a nice variety of migrants this morning here in northern
Franklin County. Just walking around here we got 44 species. Better than we
did at Pine Mountain Monday. Along with our usuals it was nice to see small
flocks of both Wood and Swainson’s thrushes, a number of bay-breasted and
TN warblers, magnolia, Nashville, black-throated green, Blackburnian,
Chestnut sided and parula warblers in ones or twos. With monarchs floating
south along our white wing stem and goldenrod -lined driveway, it was a
lovely migration morning!

Not much different at all here on my family's farm today it seems. I
think last night was one of those that Birdcast interpretation could be
really wrong about. Bird movement is really a pretty simple thing and you
can over think it very easily (which I believe Birdcast is often doing).
Central KY was mired in a relatively moist, stagnant airmass last night. I
really wouldn't have expected a lot to have moved in overnight. Now maybe
there was decent movement to our north where you would have been situated
north of the warm front and some steering northish winds were likely
present, but there doesn't seem to be much reason to think that we'd have a
big wave that either passed over us or settled in last night. There WILL be
a ton of turnover after the next frontal passage with strong north push by
winds after it. Due to lingering clouds and showers, we might not fully
realize that turnover until Friday, but it will certainly occur.

Subject: [birdky] Biggest night of migration of the season.
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology Birdcast was showing last night as being
the highest migration night over Kentucky for the season (Peak migration
was estimated as being over 40 million birds in the air). This morning from
5am there was a constant flow of Thrushes calling over my house in
Lexington. If one was away from the traffic it would have been something to
listen to (if you can hear over the sounds of crickets). Birding in the
mornings after these movements helps to determine how accurate these
calculations are. There are some nights that are calculated as being really
high and I’ve not found many birds the next morning but I always keep
looking.
