As predicted ( http://cranecreekbirding.blogspot.com/ ), today (Thursday May 9) the numbers and diversity of migrants are much improved over what they had been the last couple of days in the Magee Marsh area. Conditions overnight were not perfect for migration, but they were good enough to allow a lot of new birds to come in. Other areas along the Lake Erie shoreline should also be hopping today, and the northern half of Ohio in general should be more active than yesterday. We still think that tomorrow could be even better, but there's no guarantee. So if you can get out today, you should.
