All of the rain that soaked much of Texas and part of Louisiana has now moved off to the NE except for a few showers in the New Orleans vicinity. Upper level winds are light in Texas and from the SSW and moderate in southern Louisiana from due W. Little bird activity is noted at midday except for some offshore movement SE of Galveston heading E to shortcut the Sabine River embayment. Coastal species such as gulls, terns, and waders likely make up this movement. No obvious trans-Gulf migrants are observed. John C.
