After multiple days with southerly winds followed by some rain the winds turned around and came out of the northwest which of course means migrants arriving.  I spent a decent portion of the morning out and although it started off slow (likely due to temps in the mid 40's) it eventually picked up and I had some nice pockets of birds with the activity peaking as the sun started heating stuff up and then rapidly trailing off by 10AM.  Good variety with 19 species tallied for the day.
