All:

Stu Tingley has suggested that New Brunswickers be alert for incoming
("Mexican/Texan") Cave Swallows, which have appeared recently at Pt. Pelee,
coastal Conn, and even Tadoussac, QC. (Maybe other s.w. species could appear as
well.)

Certainly the weather setup of late has been propitious, with strong airflow
across the s-central USA and s.w. up the Atlantic Coast, including here, set up
by a big low recently centered over James Bay. See, e.g., the pressure and wind
patterns early this morning at 850 hP (probably a good altitude for migration)
at the Envir. Canada site:
