NOTE: Nick Bonomo posted this on CTBirds: "Weather conditions from last night into Tuesday are prime for carrying early spring overshoots to New England. We are in the midst of a pretty strong southerly flow ahead of a strong cold front. Keep an eye out for southern neotropical migrants (or early returns of common species), a Swallow-tailed Kite, or something even rarer like the Neotropic Cormorant that New Jersey has been enjoying."
