Apparently the Whimbel migration hasn't lost its momentum ... which is good new for those who haven't had their WHIMBREL fix yet. I suspect with another system moving through over night and tomorrow morning their will be a fair number of Whimbrel still on move tomorrow.
Since the morning posting Whimbrels have been moving past the park regularly until 5:00 pm when I just left.
