Bill Baggs sits on the main migration flyway for many bird species that winter in the Caribbean in northern South America and the Caribbean, including Cape May, Black-throated Blue, Prairie, and Blackpoll Warbler. Westerly winds overnight results in many of those migrants stopping over in the park.
