We’re waiting for another pulse of migrants to come down our way, and bring some more species. This Chuck-will’s widow was the highlight of the day. Something about this view makes me think of an approaching dirigible or something.
Last night’s big migration movement looks like it should get to our area by tomorrow at sunrise. Birding should be good in the area this weekend, although there probably won’t be epic numbers without rain to put more of them down. The green blob near Tampa is birds!
