The weather continues to be cooler than normal with occasional rain the last several days. We actually had record cold a few days ago with lows in the single digits. Given the conditions migration has slowed but stuff is still moving through with the majority being waterfowl (13 species in the last week). In addition I did have my first Eastern Meadowlark early this week, my first Great Blue Heron yesterday and also had an apparent migrant group of five Eastern Phoebes moving through the yard this afternoon. Several other species (Tree Swallows, Pine Warblers, etc) are due to show up at any time but will probably not show up for a few more days when migration conditions improve a bit.
