30-50 km/hr winds are forecast for tomorrow morning. Is it worth birding in these conditions?

I don't see it hindering birding.  Unless you're talking about your own comfort level, birds still have to feed themselves and any chicks which may have hatched.  What really effects birds are storms like the doozy we had a couple of weeks back, which is when they'll find shelter to prevent injury from rain and really high winds.

I plan on heading out first thing in the morning, rain, shine, wind, or calm...
