Montane Birds on the Move

[Ted Floyd]

Hey, everybody. Here's coverage at The ABA Blog of the apparent ongoing irruption of montane bird species out onto the plains:

Rank-and-file birders can contribute importantly to our understanding of what's going on.

Hi Ted,

Thanks for sharing the NAB article. I'm curious if  the heavy smoke that blanketed much of the northern Rockies might be partly or wholly to blame? Are you aware of other instances where heavy smoke, without regional fires, has generated species movement akin to the effects of other large weather systems like, say, cat 5 hurricanes?
