Someone left a door open in Delaware this morning as the wind rattled in across the bay and seemed to keep migrants off our doorstep. However, a good show of Northern Gannets and Forster's Terns made up for a lack of songbirds and Tom Parsons got lucky with Yellow-breasted Chat and Red-headed Woodpecker whilst waiting for the rest of us to come round to him from the opposite direction!
