Hi all,
Reports from Dean & Sally Jue from Tallahassee, another from Cantonment about 20 mi N of Pensacola and from what we have had in our yard today and yesterday (5 thrushes of 3 spp and other passerine migrants) indicate unusual numbers of late migrants still coming through. I suggest they were delayed in their normal progress by Hurricane Helene which drenched the Appalachians during the height of Fall migration. With this strong E influence we have had for about a week, I suggest they are reaching the coast and then moving W to LA and crossing the Gulf from there or making a complete circum-Gulf transit to the tropics. Hopefully they will NOT attempt a direct movement with the storm headed toward the Yucatan Channel tomorrow.
