Hi all,

A heads up that there's a buzz among the bird radar enthusiasts (e.g.  http://www.woodcreeper.com/) 
  and folks who are into recording the night flight calls of nocturnal  
migrants (emails archived at http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L) 
  that the next cold front will bring a particularly big influx of  
migrants through the northeast, because they've been bottled up for so  
long by southerly winds.

The guru of night flight call enthusiasts, Bill Evans, posted (full  
message here) that it will be "potentially a movement of relatively  
large & perhaps historic proportions." The last time he could remember  
a period as long as this one (12 nights) without a major flight was in  
1992, when hurricane Andrew held things up.

So there's hope for those of us who missed the frigatebird after all.

Cheers,
Andy Horn
Halifax
