Rains over most of Florida. We did not note a whole lot of movement last night. A dry air mass will move in as the rains boogie out and a cold front will bring down temps into the 50’s by Thanksgiving night. Hopefully the front will bring down some winter migrants for us all to enjoy on our Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Good Birding…

Last night a frontal system of low pressure pushed across central FL. slowing down migration of wintering birds. Not a whole lot was on the move once the system started to drop rain into the area. There was some activity after the front started to dissipate and movement was noted moving south into the southern area of the peninsula with most of the activity to be around the lake. Miami radar did pick up some light movement into the region that may be found at local inland migrant hotspots. Hopefully more of the Goldies and Robins will be headed south as we miss them down here in Miami. The central portions of the state did have some localized movements but they seem to have been looking for better feeding opportunities instead of moving big distances. Look for new birds in your area but we expect most of the birds to be wintering birds that are just moving around.
Moving into the middle of the week we can expect some rainy weather for Wednesday and more rain for turkey day in connection with a low that has developed in the Carolinas. After the front passes through we have a dry down coupled with a cold blast for South Florida standards, temps will drop into the 50’s on Friday and Saturday nights but the trend will start off on Thursday. High temps will be in the high 60’s low 70’s from Thursday into next week, this will make for nice birding weather, Florida birders should take advantage of the days off and do some serious biding as at least one rarity should be out there waiting to be discovered. Wish everyone a great short work week and an awesome Thanksgiving, this year it will include some great weather which has been missing for several years.
