Massive migration last night that continued through this morning here in 
Bayfield County. At my house I had hundreds (thousands?) of birds flying 
southbound overhead and birds were still moving when I quit near 10am. Also 
many, many birds filling the shrubs and old field habitat on my property. By 
far the dominant species were YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, PALM WARBLER, AMERICAN 
ROBIN, DARK-EYED JUNCO, and FOX SPARROW. Also some PURPLE FINCHES, PINE 
SISKINS, and RUSTY BLACKBIRDS, among others. Yellow-rumpeds will probably begin 
waning in the days ahead but this was my first major influx for Dark-eyed Junco 
and I can't recall a better flight of Fox Sparrows here. Purple Finches and 
Pine Siskins are the only "winter finches" showing at this point (although with 
quite a few Bohemian Waxwings appearing in Duluth-Superior already, it may be a 
good year for that species too). Full eBird list is below.
