Keep an eye out for strange birds as hurricanes pummel our southeastern and eastern coasts. Those high winds have the habit of blowing seabirds far inland. Wisconsin’s first records of Magnificent Frigatebird and Sooty Tern correlate with hurricane paths similar to that of Gustav and its inland remnants. In the past few days, both of these species have been seen in Oklahoma. You never know. (This Magnificent Frigatebird was photographed along the Gulf of Mexico coast.)
