Northwesterly winds behind the cold front pushed birds along their fall migration route last night. Birds are seen taking flight after sunset and continuing into the morning hours. Cape May is likely the best bet this morning and there was a definite NW –> SE trajectory on this push. I can’t wait to hear the […]

woah…I didn’t expect the Northwest winds to kick in tonight, but they did. There’s some good migration going on right now, although not so much coming in from the north. Conditions are good to produce a nice morning flight in Cape May, as well as produce some good birding conditions across the state. I’ll post […]

South winds on the eastern side of the approaching cold front prevented any migration along the eastern flyway last night. Conditions are forecast to continue through the next two nights, switching to northwesterly winds on Thursday. Look for a good flight on Thursday night unless weather develops more rapidly than expected.

Last night’s radar is a little hard to interpret, but it appears that there was some migration both here and to our north. The velocity shows targets moving from NW–>SE, making me think that coastal sites would be best this morning, although all sites should hold birds since many of the birds from yesterday should […]

Surface winds tonight are southerly (but mostly calm) while winds aloft are from the NE. Birds are migrating, although not as much as last night. Still, with birds moving into our airspace from the north, along with the large influx from last night, I’d expect another good day tomorrow. As it was today, I think […]
