As it feels right now, a NORTHWEST WIND is blowing, shifting NORTH late tonight through all morning Friday till late afternoon when it moves Northeast.
If you have time coming Friday, take it...it should be productive for migrant birds coming through.How good? well...we need to get out and find out. Sparrows should be in the waves that come..maybe not in great numbers but truly representative in the next two days...
Enjoy..

Peter's observation:
while going on an errand ( long walk) on 9th street , I cut thru the Nethermead where i saw one COMMON NIGHTHAWK over the Maryland Monument and then a second over the Nethermead at 6:45 pm. Both flew south over the Lullwater . Likely the same two ? Rob Bate saw earlier.
