Funny you say that Bayflite.
This is what the birdwatching report from Florida Birds for yesterday said at:
http://www.lists.ufl.edu/archives/floridabirds-l.html
Birds flying south across the gulf wait for a strong blow before they go. This is close to the peak of songbird migration. This is probably more than anyone ever wanted to know, but here it is for last night.

"Florida is under some HEAVY migration tonight. The best conditions are over
the southeastern US, down to north Florida, over to the panhandle, and the
gulf. BUT - heavy migration continues down through the state as well. Birds
are launching into the Gulf from the panhandle right now...pretty cool.
Birds along the west and east coasts seem to be following the coasts,
although easterly winds will favor the west coast and inland sites along the
east coast by morning.
I'll post the radar to
http://badbirdz2.wordpress.com in the AM, but in the
meantime, you should probably plan to go birding tomorrow (I mean
seriously...it's Sunday...what else were you planning to do???)
Good Birding
