North winds, a big chill, and clear skies triggered another night of migration over the mid-Atlantic last night. Here’s the radar from 7:00pm last night through 5:00am this morning.

After several nights of heavy migration, last night was a bit smaller in terms of magnitude. That’s typical simply because there are less birds ready to move on in the later days of a good push. That said, there are plenty of birds around, and this latest movement will favor inland migrant traps. Additionally, with north winds today along the interior ridges we could definitely see some nice late fall raptors including Golden Eagles and Northern Goshawks.
Good Birding
