--Apple-Mail-9-724191972 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all, A heads up that there's a buzz among the bird radar enthusiasts (e.g. http://www.woodcreeper.com/) and folks who are into recording the night flight calls of nocturnal migrants (emails archived at http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L) that the next cold front will bring a particularly big influx of migrants through the northeast, because they've been bottled up for so long by southerly winds. The guru of night flight call enthusiasts, Bill Evans, posted (full message here) that it will be "potentially a movement of relatively large & perhaps historic proportions." The last time he could remember a period as long as this one (12 nights) without a major flight was in 1992, when hurricane Andrew held things up. So there's hope for those of us who missed the frigatebird after all. Cheers, Andy Horn Halifax --Apple-Mail-9-724191972 Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>A = heads up that there's a buzz among the bird radar enthusiasts (e.g. = <a = href=3D"http://www.woodcreeper.com/">http://www.woodcreeper.com/</a>) = and folks who are into recording the night flight calls of nocturnal = migrants (emails archived at <a = href=3D"http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L">http://www.surfb= irds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L</a>) that the next cold front will = bring a particularly big influx of migrants through the northeast, = because they've been bottled up for so long by southerly = winds.</div><div><br></div><div>The guru of night flight call = enthusiasts, Bill Evans, posted (full message <a = href=3D"http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Mail/NFC-L/773613">here</a>) = that it will be "potentially a movement of relatively large & = perhaps historic proportions."
