I just checked it and it looks like this weekend could be a bust. It is a
stretch but the next fair wind is Fri the 28th. Wonder what the birds are
going to do.

Hi JR
I have been keeping up with the Yucatan Express to see when we could expect
birds. It has been awful. The last good Express was Tuesday 4/11. Yesterday
was a fair wind to Texas Most of the winds are weak or non-existence. Sat is
a weak wind to LA. Sunday is a fair-weak wind to LA & MS. And this is the
winds higher than 480. The 480 is awful.

Missbirders,
Migration will be over in no time if we don't get some north winds soon!
Gene Knight, Jason Hoeksema, and I birded Rowan Oak this morning. It was not
especially active, but perseverance turned up a few new birds. Jason had a very
out of place MARSH WREN near the museum entrance to Bailey's Woods. BLUE-WINGED
WARBLER, one or possibly two CERULEAN WARBLERS, and an early BLACKPOLL WARBLER
also made an appearance along with an EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE. A CHESTNUT-SIDED
WARBLER was singing in my yard when I returned, and a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO
crossed the road ahead of my vehicle on the way.
No doubt a lot is passing through, but without some weather systems coming
through to slow things down, I'm not sure how much we can expect to enjoy the
transients this spring.
There's rain in the forecast this weekend. Here's hoping for a little "fallout"
in the Jackson area for the MOS meeting.
