Comments on: Big Migration Over New Jersey http://www.woodcreeper.com/2005/10/29/big-migration-over-new-jersey-10/ We're tracking bird migration over New Jersey using Doppler radar and a community of diehard birdwatchers Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:18:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Robert DeCandido http://www.woodcreeper.com/2005/10/29/big-migration-over-new-jersey-10/comment-page-1/#comment-7603 Robert DeCandido Sat, 29 Oct 2005 19:33:38 +0000 http://www.woodcreeper.com/?p=258#comment-7603 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. rdc/nyc On Friday night, October 28th at the Empire State Building (NYC), only 5 total migrants were counted.
