Migration kicked into high gear last night as southwest winds across the region triggered a moderate to heavy flight across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Here’s the radar from sunset last night through 5:00am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation. The winds aloft (~3000 ft.) were […]
