Re: [Maine-birds] Re: Fall Migration

I hope it's not all over yet. At least there was a report from Cape May 2-3 weeks ago of a carefully-estimated 56,000 warblers in one day.

Down here in south FL (back at work) warbler numbers so far are maybe a bit down from normal, but not much.

Maybe most of the birds are gone, it almost seems obvious.  Certainly compared to 30 - 40 years ago.

Thank you BAB for weighing in.  Sorry to hear your migration was a bust down your way.  If your and my experience is representative it is odd isn't it?  In past low years the theory I heard floated is that for some reason birds shunned the coast in favor of an interior, mountain ridge on ramp to the Atlantic Flyway.  But, I never drilled down to test the voracity of this.  Another theory I hear is that rather than "Big Days" birds are trickling through in smaller flights.  But what I am seeing looks more like no migration rather than a trickle migration.  

Bye,

Richard
