Birds heading out of mid-Atlantic
While not as drastic as I had originally anticipated, birds do appear to have moved through the mid-Atlantic region in a manner that would suggest an overall net loss in density. 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 […]

More migration on north winds
Winds were variable at different altitudes last night; northeast on the surface, and northwest aloft. Either way, both triggered another night of heavy migration over the entire region. 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. Based on […]

Winds across the region remained northerly last night (although they were expected to turn more northeasterly), the moon was large, and the sky was clear, setting the […]

This resulted in a strong north/northwesterly flow from Glasgow, Montana down to Brownsville, Texas and all the way to the east coast from Caribou, Maine down to Key […]
