  • Heavy migration: Night #3

    Another night of northerly winds and clear skies made for optimal migration conditions across the entire Northeast and mid-Atlantic US. Here’s the radar from 7:00pm last night through 5:00am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation. Both local radars show heavy migration over New Jersey last […]

  • Heavy migration: Night #2

    Last night the northern mid-Atlantic saw winds shift from northwesterly to northeasterly, while the southern part of the region was under easterly flow the entire night. This made for some interesting migration patterns, which ultimately resulted in a NE–>SW trajectory by 5:00am this morning. Here’s the radar from 7:00pm last night until 5:00am today. Frames […]

  • Heavy migration spanning three flyways!

    As the latest cold front pushed it’s way offshore yesterday, high pressure built in over the Northeast and mid-Atlantic with steady northerly winds. The result was a migration superhighway extending across the Central, Mississippi, and Eastern flyways. Here’s the radar from 7:00pm last night through 5:00am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour.

That wasn’t the case for the southeast, though, as the radar does show some impressive migration over that region. Here’s the radar from 7:00pm last night through 5:00am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click […]

  • Light migration over Jerze

    Surface winds were calm last night, while the winds aloft were light southeasterly, providing less-than-optimal migration conditions. Still, a small number of birds appear to have moved overnight, although the majority of the signal on the radar appears to be something other than birds. Here’s the radar from 7:00pm last night through 5:00am this morning. […]
