Bird migration looked better on radar than it has in quite a while. The front moving east along the Gulf states triggered migration ahead and behind the front last night. We were thinking that this sort of front has produced awesome western vagrants along the panhandle in the past. Birds were moving west to east on velocity radars from Alabama to the panhandle of FL. Look out for some early winter birds coming in with this front. Check your local migrant traps and let us know if you had a noticeable influx of birds.
Please post your sightings here.

The Matheson service road this morning had one each Magnolia, Worm-eating, Black-and-white, Prairie, and Common Yellowthroat. The oaks on the east side near Fairchild had nada. Wish I had more to report, but I haven’t birded since last Friday. Looks like it’s time to think sparrows.
