My theory is that the next big push of a Cold front weather system from
the NW will push an awful lot of birds in front of it - it would be a
great day to be on Stony Point on the North Shore!  Looking at the clear
radar nationwide, who knows when that will be!

I agree...Labor Day weekend is usually my "best" fall warbler counting
weekend. This last weekend I managed only 7 species at Rice Creek Park
in Anoka Cnty and it was like pulling (hen's) teeth. And I don't see
anyone else, at least not in the central or south parts of the state,
reporting any big numbers of species (or even big numbers)

I'm feeling discouraged and worried about the low numbers of migrants in
my area. In spite of looking diligently, I'm only seeing a few warblers
and then only one or two at a time. Other migrants are few and far
between also. If things don't pick up, this will be the worst fall
migration I've witnessed in my area since I began watching birds 20
years ago.

The migrating birds I have seen yesterday and today include:

Turkey Vulture
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Eastern Wood-Pewee
Eastern Phoebe
Northern Flicker
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (immature)
Blue-headed Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Red-breasted Nuthatch (hadn't seen one for over a year)
House wren
Blue-winged Warbler
Black and White Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Northern Waterthrush
Common Yellowthroat
Purple Finch (yesterday at my feeders)
