The recent reports of large flocks of Tundra Swans came to mind when I was sent this article relating the large storm which just passed with large movements of Snow Geese in the southern plains: http://birdcast.info/forecast/southern-great-plains-goose-flight-11-12-november-2012/ They suspected that the storm might be capable of bringing late Western migrants east (Cave Swallow, Ash-throated Flycatcher, etc.): http://birdcast.info/forecast/et-tu-brute/ That site also has a good article about Sandy's effect on Neotropical migrants, focusing more on the mechanics of the weather: http://birdcast.info/forecast/lingering-sandy-effects/ Thought you all might enjoy.
