As predicted late last week it appears the main push of the First Wave has
arrived. While last Saturday gave us a hint with a segment of the dominant
species (White-throats and Hermits), today is the day of the Myrtle Warbler.


The front has stalled just south of the lake but major movement normally
balloons in front of the big warm fronts. As mentioned by Gabe birds are
falling out along the front and north of it. These birds normally "filter"
migrate during the day on atmospheric situations like today. So that means
get out whenever you can today as new arrivals will be making their
appearance all day.

As Kenn Kaufman mentioned just a couple of days ago, tomorrow could be the
biggest of the First Wave, it will be only predicated by, will you need a
snorkel with your binocs.

Kenn and I will try to keep you posted on how the migration develops as the
week progresses.
