  • Some more birds leave the Northeast

    Light and variable winds at all altitudes over much of the Northeast resulted in a light to moderate movement of birds into the mid-Atlantic last night. Here’s the radar from 7:30pm last night through 5:00am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation. Last night the conditions […]

  • Finally out of the storm’s path, coastal migrants head south

    With Irene gone for good (or at least reduced to a tamed low pressure system over eastern Canada), many migrants along the northeast coast took to the skies last night. Here’s the radar from 7:30pm last night through 5:00am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation. […]

    Northwest winds across western NY and the mid-Atlantic triggered nocturnal migration into and out-of the region last night. Here’s the radar from 7:30pm last night through 5:00am this morning. Note that the Fort Dix radar is down for maintenance and so is missing from both the single and composite images. Frames are every 1/2 hour. […]

  • As Irene moves up coast, birds pour down to the west

  • Migration on Central and Mississippi flyways as Irene moves up the coast

    Nocturnal migration was definitely in effect last night, but not for the coastal mid-Atlantic. Building southeasterly winds from the approaching hurricane appear to have kept birds from moving over New Jersey and coastal points south. Here’s the radar from 7:30pm last night through 5:00am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail […]
