Folks, A strong fall storm system will be tracking into Michigan Thursday night and through Quebec on Friday. A very strong southwest flow of air up through 5000 feet will set up tonight and last until
Friday night. We are looking at about a 48 hour window of strong southwest winds. One wonders if this will bring up more western vagrants that typically show up later in the fall to the northeast... like allen/rufous hummingbirds, cave swallows, western kingbirds, scissor-tailed flycatchers etc. So far there has only been one cave swallow reported in ebird in the northeast...2 days ago... in Cape May. Last year was a big year for them in the northeast beginning in November... By Sunday strong northwest winds will be established over the region....this could lead to a big golden eagle day as well.
