National Overview
Birds were cruising up through the US last night I’m sitting in a campground with very limited internet amidst a dozen Cerulean Warblers so I can’t do much more than simply provide the radar today and tomorrow… use what you’ve learned and interpret what you see below!
Below are the radar loops from sunset last night through 5:00am (central time) this morning

Again, a great morning at work. Many Parulas, Blackpolls, Baltimore Orioles, 1 Black-throated Blue, 4 Magnolias, 1 Northern Waterthrush, a few American Redstarts, 3 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. Plus more Wood Thrush, Common Yellowthroats, and Yellow Warblers in. I wish I could get out to Wheelabrator this morning!
Biggest night flight call turn out of the season so far in Hunterdon County, NJ with over 300 detections including still about 50% White-throated Sparrows, but with a bigger compliment now of assorted warblers including Canada, American Redstart, Black-and-White, Ovenbird, Black-throated Blue, Black-throated Green, and additional harder to identify buzzy calls.
