Migration over New Jersey


Alright! The Northeast corridor has been open for several evenings now. Here’s the radar from sunset last night through sunrise this morning.

Migration was widespread across the east coast last night and heaviest from the mid-atlantic to extreme northeast. Again, the trajectory suggests that Sandy Hook would be a good bet this morning, but as we have seen recently this pattern at this time of year appears to favor all New Jersey migratory hotspots. I’m personally enjoying my backyard…now to find an Olive-sided Flycatcher!

Good Birding
