It seems to be a coastal phenomenon.  Things were pretty quiet  here.

Things  are quieting down right now at 640am just before sunrise, but the

double-digit Gray-cheek  including one higher pitched bird that may have been
Bicknell's. We'll see if  my iPhone spectrogram image will be enough to
distinguish.

Not sure  what this will mean for this morning's birding but it couldn't
hurt to get out  and look, particularly along the coast.

They're still going in lower  density now.
