Day before yesterday, observers at one spot in Wisconsin reported
witnessing two whimbrel flocks totaling ~1500 birds. The Center for
Conservation Biology and The Nature Conservancy contribute to a page on
seaturtle.org which summarizes the migration of these birds at
http://www.wildlifetracking.org/index.shtml?project_id=369#
On this site they have 26 such summaries treating 584 birds carrying
transmitters during migration, also mammals, etc.
        Bander Bob Sargent reports on the Alabama list that he captured 13
hummingbirds in his back yard that same day. Nine of them were
recaptures from previous years in the same yard, and two were captured
for the fourth straight year. Most likely all had migrated over the Gulf
of Mexico and its oil-slick.
May your migrations go smoothly,
Bill Whan
