Tonight, Illinois is experiencing very little avian movement, as evidenced by the almost complete lack of blue radar noise over the state on the current national composite radar (http://tempest.aos.wisc.edu/radar/us3comp.gif). This means that avian turnover will be negligible tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.
Hawk Watching Forecast: Tomorrow, east winds with rain in the forecast for the afternoon for northeast Illinois make for poor hawk watching conditions - it is not recommended for tomorrow.
To predict exactly which species you are likely to encounter and when, please consult:

In summary, tomorrow (Tuesday) should not be a great day for birding across the state.
Good(ish) birding,
:-)
