chipperatl Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 We have lost the few shorebird habitats we had in my county in the past week. Looks like we may get quality over quantity this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say that, I'm eastern and the migration forecast for tonight on the high end is only 4000 birds. You have at least medium migration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 I assume everyone knows that Birdcast is about the number of birds that flyover your area, not land. It’s really most useful for NFCs 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My forecast for the next three days is 0-5000 😢But on the positive side that gives me more time to find birds already on the ground. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just for tonight, the next few days are 0-4000. But good points! I don't know how many birds are actually going to be there in the daytime, but usually the nocturnal forecasts corresponds to more migrating birds the next day, at least for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colton V Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I had some early Horned Grebes and a Ruddy Duck a couple days ago. Lots and lots of shorebirds, too!
