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!

The current time is 1:29am and it’s raining cats and dogs. Migration has been shut down tonight due to bad weather. This means two things: 1. No new birds will be showing up tomorrow (except for local movements). 2. No birds will be leaving tonight (ie, you have a second chance to find the ones […]

Migration continues tonight! Here are the radar and velocity from just after sunset until 9:45pm this evening This movement appears to be less than last night (less continuity, less of the green signal which represent higher densities of birds). A lighter movement is pretty typical for the second day of a multi-day migration event. I […]
