Little to no migration over Jerze


Winds were generally ENE over the region last night, with the exception of the northern third of the state where winds turned slightly SE. Light migration was apparent only in the northwest portion of the state, extending up into the Northeastern US. Here’s the radar from sunset last night through 5:30am this morning.

Frames are every 1/2 hour for reflectivity and velocity, and every hour for the regional composite. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation.

As I said before, not much going on except for some light movement over the northwest corner of the state. The general direction was from the SE–>NW, so bird densities should decrease along the inland areas of the northern part of the state, and possibly increase in the Highlands (although without systematically surveying the area, it is quite difficult to detect changes in density within the heavily forested northwestern part of the state).

Good Birding
