OK “Less Warm” Front. Cornell Lab of Ornithology estimates more’n half a billion migrating birds flying south tonight thru tomorrow. I expect the Corpus Christi Hawk watch oughtta top 15,000 passing overhead 9 to 5. https://birdcast.info/Left school at dusk and a little male kestrel was passing over looking for a place to put down, first one of the year.

I have a pot of chicken and andouille gumbo simmering right now. It'll eat quite well for the next couple of days.

37 here at the house - mid 80's today.
Temp probably will drop a little lower as sunrise gets here.

We live in northeast Missouri and about 2 weeks ago the hummingbirds were drinking 1 gallon of sugar water every 3 days. It's hard to make an accurate count of them at the feeders but there were close to 30. Now they've dropped back to 8 that I counted yesterday and I imagine the ones I see now are moving ahead of the cold. My latest recorded hummingbird was October 9th a couple of years ago. I sure enjoy seeing them.

Birdie, help me out here. That web site shows Nocturnal migration. Call me ignorant, but I always thought that they flew in the day time. Do they fly at night and rest in the day, or do they fly day and night? I never really noticed migrating birds at night.
That cold front is supposed to roll through here tonight. Hopefully it'll flush out all of this humidity. I'm ready for Fall so that I can get out there and kill some deer. It's been way too hot up until now.

Hummingbirds are frantically feeding here. Woke up to the low 60's this morning in East Texas. They'll probably be leaving soon.
