    …the Levee’s Gonna Break Here’s the radar from 7:30pm last night through 5:00am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation. Light and variable surface winds coupled with moderate (10-15kt) upper-level winds set the stage for an ‘uncorking’ of what was a  migration bottleneck across the Northeastern […]

  • No detectable migration last night (part deux)

    (sorry! This was supposed to auto-post this morning at 5:00am and I just realized that it didn’t… sheesh, technology) I’m sleeping in this morning (9/8). As of last night the radar showed no visible sign of migration over the northeast coast and mid-Atlantic. Winds were out of the SE at altitude and light and variable […]

  • No detectable migration over the mid-Atlantic

    A mix of heavy precipitation and strong unfavorable winds failed to trigger any migration over the mid-Atlantic and southeastern NY last night. Here’s the radar from 7:50pm last night through 5:30am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation. From southeastern NY to the Delmarva Peninsula we […]

  • Full frontal boundary

    Migration over most of the northeast and mid-Atlantic was stifled by the strong southwesterly flow on the east side of the latest cold front. Here’s the radar from 7:30pm last night through 5:30am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation. Cold fronts are pretty much our […]

  • No migration along the east coast

    Strong southerly flow on the east side of the latest cold front has shut down migration over the northeastern and mid-Atlantic US. Right now it looks like we could see some nocturnal migration on Tuesday night although east winds will most likely push and disperse birds inland rather than concentrate them along the coast.   […]
