Well...we got the cold front as expected...The birds however did not seem
to get the memo. There were a few good birds around most areas but the key
term is a few. By this afternoon Lafitte's Cove was the slowest for
migrants that I, and many others, have ever seen it in the wake of a cold
front in spring.
High Island was getting a bit active by mid afternoon but certainly no real
fallout. A couple of Cerulean Warblers were around, Vireos were in decent
numbers, lots of Orchard Orioles and E. Kingbirds, otherwise a bit of a
tough go. Lafitte's was insanely quiet, a Black-billed Cuckoo was reported,
Painted Bunting and Lark Sparrow were present, and a few warblers/vireos
were noted but well below the expected numbers.
Any reports from the central coast or Sabine today to see if this general
lack of migrants was local or regional in nature?
