these things are weird (Mario and Chuck-will’s widow, photo by Miriam Avello)
That pesky NE wind ended up putting a lid on today’s captures. Birds across Florida were flying low and for only part of the night last night, and although the flight looked good on Miami radar this morning, they were all over the mainland. Still, there were a few around already down in the woods at sunrise. We had a short hard shower around 0745 and a couple of flocks of mostly Northern parulas and Cape May warblers dropped in afterwards, but it got very quiet by noon. No new species for the year, and we were taunted by the Thick-billed vireo again who was hanging out between the tent and one of our nets for a large part of the morning. He remains unbanded.
