  • Heavy migration last night

    A hurricane spins off to our east, and a cold front pushes in from the west; oh what a night! Little-to-no wind was all the birds needed last night to kickstart another big migration event over the NE and mid-Atlantic. Here’s the radar from 6pm last night through 6am this morning.

Here’s the radar from 6:00pm last night through 6:00am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation. The radar was ablaze with migration last […]
