Thanks. That's a good article.

"While a hurricane is at sea, ocean-dwelling birds will seek shelter in the eye and just keep flying inside the eye until the storm passes over the coast where they will take refuge on land. This phenomenon is why birders flock to areas struck by hurricanes. The storms afford them the opportunity to spot species of birds in places where they are not supposed to be. "

I remember in my submarine days occasionally when we surfaced, lost land birds would flock to and land on our decks.
