I was hoping you might do this type of analysis for these re= cent arrivals. More Indigo Bunting continue to be reported, as well as RB Gr= osbeak. So far no new Blue Grosbeak sightings, on FB at least.=20 Nancy Sent from my iPad > On Apr 19, 2018, at 1:05 PM, John Kearney <john.kearney@ns.sympatico.ca> w= rote: >=20 > Hi all, > I did a little analysis this morning of weather, bird distributions, and w= ind modeling. It looks like 2 different sources arising from the same weathe= r system brought the Indigo Buntings. The first group was off the coast of t= he Carolinas on the evening of 15 April and arrived in western Nova Scotia o= n the afternoon of 16 April. The other group left or was in the vicinity of B= ermuda the evening of 16 April arriving over an extensive geographical area o= f Nova Scotia on the afternoon of the 17th but focused on the South Shore. T= his last group was accompanied by some Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Blue Gros= beaks which are common spring migrants in Bermuda in the spring. I suspect m= ost birds arrived via Bermuda. > This has probably happened fairly regularly in the past but we are more aw= are of it now because it is a species that is so noticeable at bird feeders a= nd lawns and people have a reporting tool on Facebook. > John > =20 --Apple-Mail-F329665D-94E2-4E18-9027-C2FEE96D1965 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html><head><meta http-equiv=3D"content-type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3D= utf-8"></head><body dir=3D"auto">Thank you John.
