Drought is one of the biggest factors, in my opinion, forcing
non-seasonal bird movement. Right now you may start thinking of Bird
species that may flee the drought and fires plaguing Texas and Southern
plains: http://www.drought.unl.edu/dm/monitor.html
Zone-tiled Hawks? Maybe not, but Swainson's Hawks may drift north.
Wetland-associated birds such as Black-necked Stilt, Cinnamon Teal and
to a lesser degree Snowy Plover. Doves (White-winged,Common Ground-Dove)
may be forced to move and maybe some Passerines.
Now all we need is a good southerly wind flow and the drought to
continue to see if anything unusual shows up.
Lastly, Horicon's White-tiled Kite (pending acceptance) of last fall may
have been a one bird so affected when the drought was first building.
