Zugunruhe overhead
I just checked the radar on the NCAR site here: http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/radar and could see the telltale sign of migration on both the Fort DIX (KDIX) and Dover, DE (KDOX) radar stations. Here’s the 11:55pm base reflectivity image for KDIX and the corresponding velocity image here. For those of you new to this, or if you’re […]

Last night the density and trajectory of migration looked good for bringing birds into the Mid-Atlantic and NY State with less birds making their way into New […]
