  • Very little moving over Jersey

    Unfortunately the anticipated push of migrants has not materialized, with the very unstable atmosphere appearing to keep birds on land. There’s plenty of stuff around to see, although with northwest winds in the forecast over the next few days, don’t expect much to change in terms of density or diversity. Now we wait… Good Birding […]

  • No migration last night

    I finally made it to the local public library where the internet connection doesn’t suck. Here’s the radar from sunset last night through 7:30am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour for reflectivity and velocity, and every hour for the regional composite. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation. As you can see, […]

After checking the New Jersey radar it appears that birds were on the move after sunset last night, when the fast moving front overtook them around midnight. The trajectory was generally SSE–>NNW, with the majority […]

  • Heavy migration into New Jersey

    Favorable surface winds and clear skies opened the door to birds entering from the south, while less-than-optimal conditions over the northeast precluded much from leaving. The result should be a net gain of bird diversity and density across the region. Here’s the radar from sunset last night through 5:30am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 […]
