Heavy migration into the Mid-Atlantic


Wow… talk about a late post! Migration was hot, heavy, and headed in the expected direction for spring. Here’s the radar from sunset last night through 8:30am this morning.

Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation.

No time to write. Check out the radar! It looks like all the birds from the Delmarva and coastal North Carolina will have made it up into the region today, as a low spinning to our south brought southerly flow to the east coast. Most migration over the Garden State was along the typical SW->NE trajectory, with no weather to bring birds down at any one location. Expect the migrant traps along the major axis to hold the most birds today. Garret Mountain and Sandy Hook are very good bets!

Good Birding
