11/8 IL Migration Report

Tonight's lack of migration

Hey everyone,

So tonight, unfavorable southerly winds have indeed filled into the area, keeping migrants totally grounded over Illinois. So not much to write about tonight.

Looking into our crystal ball of future winds, winds are forecast to become west/northwesterly late tomorrow and into tomorrow night. With the passage

of a low pressure system late Sunday, it appears that Saturday night may be this weekend's best night for migration. We'll see how it plays out.

For now, happy birding, and good luck!
