They hang the man and flog the woman
That steal the goose from off the common,
But let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose.

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. <br>
  <br>
Thanks for helping.<br>

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? <br>

just like to add that during the previous three weeks
of monitoring the migration on Brier Island, the volume of migrants was
constant
but low. With little migration having taken place for that long a
period in
this season and having received reports that the &#8220;woods are alive with
birds&#8221;, I would suggest that the morning after the next cold front goes

viewing
location. A movement of historic proportions sounds about right.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
