A male Blue and White Flycatcher in one of the local parks 5 years ago today. There was an astonishing fall of common migrants that lasted several days that week: low pressure, cool temperatures and very low cloud caused it I think.................in the subsequent years the same park has been very quiet since.
Weather is certainly a factor in causing birds to hang around for a longer period than when conditions are good for them to move on.
ReplyDeleteWe had similar weather this year but sadly nowhere near as many birds......
