I was on Grand Isle from 4/12-4/15 and then again from 4/17 to present.
Before the cold front / wind shift, the woods were very quiet in the
morning but picked up every afternoon after 3 or 4 pm. Decent numbers of
tanagers, grosbeaks, and buntings. Total of 14 species of warbler, all in
the single digits for any given day.
After the wind shifted, things got worse! The woods have been quiet
basically all day. Still a few tanagers, grosbeaks, buntings, but I've
eked out 15 species of warbler over the 4 day period with only one or two
of each species.
I wonder if they're all still stacked up on the Yucatan peninsula!
