Hi Lance
Would a cold front be the winds are from the north? I don't know how to
read weather maps very well. We have some north winds forecast for Sat
and Sun. Would you then say that Monday will be a good migration day?
Where would I go to watch and what time of day? Also what types of birds
would I be looking for? Shore birds, ducks, etc or warbler, sparrow
types? I will put a location recommendation request on the NatureNB line
as well as the NatureNS.
Thanks for helping.
Virginia
PS The brier Island banding project is very big commitment, is it still
a vacation as well? Did Megan do her hummingbird banding training yet?
