A stationary front turned cold front moved south across our area last night, bringing with it north winds inland, and east winds along the coast. This was enough to set off a respectable migration event which continued into early this morning. The front has since backed up into our area again (although it is weak, dissipating, and dry) which has turned the winds back around to the SSW. Most movement across the radar this morning was from the NW –> SE, possibly a result of birds being aloft, and then being directed by the SW winds as they built in during the later hours. This should mean interesting things for Cape May and coastal locations, but also for inland sites which will undoubtedly show an increase in local bird densities. As always, I urge you to come back and post your observations.
Good Birding
