Discussing the state of migration in n.w. Ohio, just last night I wrote that
I didn't expect any south winds to bring in waves of migrants before next
week.  Well, around here, the weather predictions change as often as the
weather, which is saying a lot.  They're now calling for the winds to switch
around to the southwest tonight (Friday May 18) and stay southwest or
west-southwest through Saturday and Saturday night.  So I expect there will
be a lot of turnover -- the birds that have been here for several days may
leave, but I expect there will be new ones coming in as well.  Today I was
still finding things like Tennessee Warbler and Veery scattered at small
woodlots well inland, but I would guess that tomorrow the migrants may be
more concentrated close to the lake.
