[obol] storm reports

[Tom Crabtree]

I think also it relates to the time of year.  This is December and we don't
have tons of birds migrating.  Most of them are already on their wintering
grounds.  When we have had big storms before with lots of goodies showing up
it has been May, Sept. or Oct.  If the birds aren't moving around, it is
harder for them to get blown "off course."

I've been somewhat taken aback by the paucity of findings, rare or
otherwise, from this *major* storm just past.  Any ideas why we didn't see
wrecked NORTHERN FULMARs, maybe some PHALAROPES, inland ANCIENT MURRLELETS
or JAEGERS, etc., etc.?
