These silly little teasers are killing me. Last night’s west/southwest winds early in the evening caused a little bit of migration activity until about 1:00am. After 1:00am the winds switched to northeast and migration shut down. I’ve presented the radar, but the velocity data was down last night. I checked the velocity data on the […]

Just a tiny amount of migration early last night when winds were southerly, but quickly ended as winds turned northerly around 11pm. No radar posted.

Interesting weather this evening prompted me to post the current radar. The base reflectivity image covers the time from sunset until 10:30pm, and shows a low level of migration currently in progress. The velocity image shows the birds are moving in a SW to NE direction. Because migration levels appear to be low for our […]

Last night was an example of how birds will continue to migrate even when conditions are less than optimal. Here are the base reflectivity and velocity from sunset yesterday through sunrise this morning. Clear skies apparently trumped light Northeast winds, as birds are seen leaving New Jersey. The velocity shows birds moving in a northeast […]

No migration detected last night as winds were steady out of the Northeast. Migrants who arrived over the past few nights have been showing up at all the regular spring locations; so get out there and find them!
