From some Racine area birders on a facebook discussion thread about
yesterday's radar:
"Nothing special was going on. I think they predicted a fall out along the
frontal line, but maybe it didn't move far enough east...?"
"I respectfully disagree with the "fallout". There were fewer birds today
than any other day this week. I expect what the map is showing are birds
leaving, rather than coming....I'm just stating that the prediction was
wrong.....No warning of a fallout on Tuesday morning but there was a huge
one. Today we were alerted to a possible fallout and there wasn't one. There
just seems to be a substantial gap between the way they are reading the
radars and what is really happening. Could it be bat migration? Insect
migration? Ground fog?"
Perhaps the Sheboygan birders may have a different perspective....they had
Laughing Gull yesterday and I recall Carl Schroeder indicating the gull
numbers were impressive in Sheboygan.

So what did lakefront observers find yesterday?
As we wind down the official Spring field note season, I would like to hear
from lakefront birdwatchers about whether the predictions of birds piling up
along the Lake MI shoreline panned out. I am sure single individual birds
are still moving during this "protracted" season, but would like the "boots
on the ground" analysis :-) THANK YOU!
