Having to work for your birds

The last two days have been brutal. No migration is in sight. West of us in the city environs they are getting migrants, not numbers of individual species but a broad range of species. On our Tuesday walk we barely had twenty species, and nothing unusual. On my beach run today birds were sparse. I did have a notable pair of Black Scoter that look like they might be hanging around. I don't know, we might miss the whole migration to the west of us.
