Morning Flight - 22 October 2013

Light migration conditions last night produced far fewer birds than yesterday, and with the light south winds a majority of the flight was southbound migrants. Hopefully with the passage of this cold front it will bring another great day to the dike- the cold temperatures, not so much...

They started to pump dredge spoils up top the dike in the past couple of days, finally bringing more waders in- 2 Lesser Yellowlegs, 19 Dunlin, and 9 Killdeer.
