One response to “Big Migration Over New Jersey”
On Friday night, October 28th at the Empire State Building (NYC), only 5 total migrants were counted. Winds were NE most of the night at 10-15mph. Skies were overcast. I imagine that we missed many migrants because the overcast skies make it difficult to see a migrating bird (when illuminated from below).
Early on the following morning (Saturday, the 29th) there was a good dawn flight of Am. Robins and Flickers over my home in the Bronx, and even over Central Park from 9-9:30am. This indicates that migration was indeed proceeding over NYC.
