Northwesterly winds behind the cold front pushed birds along their fall migration route last night. Birds are seen taking flight after sunset and continuing into the morning hours. Cape May is likely the best bet this morning and there was a definite NW –> SE trajectory on this push. I can’t wait to hear the […]

woah…I didn’t expect the Northwest winds to kick in tonight, but they did. There’s some good migration going on right now, although not so much coming in from the north. Conditions are good to produce a nice morning flight in Cape May, as well as produce some good birding conditions across the state. I’ll post […]

South winds on the eastern side of the approaching cold front prevented any migration along the eastern flyway last night. Conditions are forecast to continue through the next two nights, switching to northwesterly winds on Thursday. Look for a good flight on Thursday night unless weather develops more rapidly than expected.
