The Blackburnian Warbler is in line with BirdCast's expected nocturnal migrants at the moment, as are Wilson's, Bay-breasted, Blackpoll, and Tennessee, along with Scarlet Tanagers.

Last night's Cook County migration count was 4,854,200, a very high number, reflecting the general lack of winds from the south in prior days. The next few nights should bring a significant influx of migrants that have not had the wind assist that they have needed.

Facts don't take sides.
Fact-checking is not a political act.
Anyone who objects to fact-checking
Is looking to con you.
The term for that person: liar.
