  • Migration over the mid-Atlantic

    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.

Saturday night 8pm: North winds across the Central and Mississippi flyways […]

Here’s the radar from 7:30pm last night through 5:00am this morning (although some of the later images were missing from the archive). Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click […]
