Gorgeous night on the CT River watching for the tree swallow show!

8/28 Tree Swallow Report:
6% chance of rain, which we got for a few minutes, then it cleared to be one of the most beautiful nights.

Good swallow show - lots of action after they flushed in this shot the camera had a hard time showing this smaller group of birds joining the massive numbers already in the sky. We saw several murmurations, then they settled quietly into the reeds.

Looking forward to going out again. It is always a better show in real life. Next group tours are Friday and Saturday Sept 4th and 5th. https://www.wanderlustecotours.com/birding-wildlife

Or send me a message if you want a different date as a private tour.

Intermediate level due to length (over 2 miles each way, but with the tides), current (tidal with possible wakes from boats), and time of day (we will return to the launch after dark).

Radar overnight shows that the early bird surge is on track for this weekend. 200 to 250 million birds are likely to be flying across the country the next 2 nights. Saturday night and possibly Sunday night will be the bigger migration nights in our local area. The early season surge is developing behind the cold front in Minnesota. There are also some birds migrating behind the 1st cold front moving through the mid Atlantic. These early season cool spells are leading to early opportunities for migrating birds to start their journey to the south. The peak of the fall migration is in September across the Great Lakes region. You can help by turning off those outdoor lights especially on high migration nights.
