Moderately strong south winds stifled songbird activity this morning. In fact, for those birds that "moved" north, it appeared to be less of a purposeful decision on their part; they were essentially wind-blown north. Northern Waterthrush - one of the strongest-flying warblers - was today's winner. Perhaps they should be re-named "Southern" Waterthrush, due to their propensity to fly in off-winds (like today's strong, south winds). Just a thought...
