BIRD STUDY GROUP
Tom,
I doubt that the migrants are coming "later". I figure that they just basically
skirted around Louisiana or staged in areas where birders don't bird. I don't
keep up with listservs east/west of Louisiana. I'm not so sure that birds may
not just spread out such that they aren't conspicuous and as soon as the winds
are favorable, spring up and cross the Gulf. I don't think there are any radar
systems that pick up fall migration - north to south across the Gulf - the way
they pick up incoming birds in the Spring. Howsomeever, I seem to recall seeing
radar images from Cape May involving fall migration.
Mike, Steve, Terry might have some thoughts on this?

Dr.Jay,
Is I possible the migrants are just coming later than normal? I don't know
due to lack of experience with seasonal birding in LA.
Just this week I had 4 Eastern Bluebirds in the yard- haven't seen a
Bluebird in the yard since May. I had 4 White-crowned Sparrows in town
(Pollock,LA) and one first winter White-crowned in my backyard (new yard
bird).
Then today, just about 15 minutes ago, I had a Rose-breasted Grosbeak on
the feeder. Nice surprise :)

LA 191 about 10 miles south of Logansport, LA. Site is an ebird hotspot and
included in the Lane's Guide, if memory is correct. Birding was poor
following frontal passage.
