Hi All,
 
I've heard that hurricanes can push sea birds and other migrants not often seen inland. I've heard Paul Pisano had some great stuff during such a storm in DC a number of years back.
 
So... what should we be looking for?  Birds being pushed inland as the storm approaches?  If so, do winds need to be east, southeast, northeast?  Does this seem to happen only near the center of circulation - farther way?  Do oddities begin to show up days before? only the day of the storm?  Days afterward?  What would have to happen for us to get birds pushed into the DC metro area?
 
I have my own guesses, but would love to hear what more experienced birds have to say.
 
Thanks!

P.S. Of course safety should be #1 if this hurricane really makes it into our area... so I hope no one takes this email as a call for crazy risk taking!
