I swap up and down on Windy, like Bob my go to app. It had strong winds - 24 plus - bringing flow from SE to due north to us from this morning. There has been at least one post reporting thousands of birds but I have seen very few
Cheers,
Drew Haffenden

Subject: [ALbirds] WINDY caution
Hi all,
Just a cautionary note about using WINDY in determining bird movements. Right now looking out at Pensacola Bay (about 5 pm) the wind is N about 25 mph with higher gusts and has been that way, NW to N, since at least 2:30 this afternoon. But WINDY is showing winds surface out of the S all during this time. The weather station at Gulf Breeze High School is also showing winds out of the NW.
WINDY is usually right, but not this afternoon. If I were away from the coast looking at WINDY for bird movements, I would get the impression they had an easy time of it coming in. Not so. Some Indigos have dropped in to our yard and a report from Dauphin Is. indicates a substantial fallout.
