Ike stops the flow

After two days with lots of movement, the migrants dried up and just six new birds were trapped. This is most likely the affect of Hurricane Ike as it moves from east to west across the Gulf of Mexico and the winds over the Gulf change from northerly to southerly. Winds are expected to be strong and from the south over the Gulf again tonight, so migrants are likely to be thin on the ground again tomorrow, with just those birds that have already made it to the Yucatan on the move.
