We finally got a break in our long duration weather of hot and humid conditions that has lasted most of July and more intermittently into the early part of August. Although I love the tropical feel, without the hordes of tropical birds to go with it, it is a bit harder to take. The break came after the remnants of Hurricane Debby moved through. Although we were a bit too far off the track of the remnants we still got some decent rain and some wind. The storm was over land since its second landfall in the carolinas so true storm birds although I did have a decent selection of shorebirds as the rain grounded a few migrants including a little early Black bellied Plover among a total of eight species of shorebirds during the Friday to Saturday time frame. Sunday featured low humidity and mainly sunny conditions and a feel of the real start of passerine migration. Nothing too rare but certainly some migrants moving through. Today I enjoyed a day off and stuck close to home with my time spent around the Ware and south Quabbin area.
