I thought I would get in on this. 16 degrees, cloudy early, fairly strong NW winds. Sun broke through about 11:00 and migration pretty much ended. Waxwings, buntings, bluebirds, hummingbirds and chimney swifts were all moving east to west along the edge of the cliff.

    First seen (from the edge of the cliff) about a half km west on the beach with the mallards and geese. I identified it through my scope. It eventually flew east and landed in the field in front of me but was still distant. After a half hour, it got up and flew further east. Record flight photos.
