  • Light migration over Jerze

    Last night’s radar is a little hard to interpret, but it appears that there was some migration both here and to our north. The velocity shows targets moving from NW–>SE, making me think that coastal sites would be best this morning, although all sites should hold birds since many of the birds from yesterday should […]

  • Interesting migration tonight

    Surface winds tonight are southerly (but mostly calm) while winds aloft are from the NE. Birds are migrating, although not as much as last night. Still, with birds moving into our airspace from the north, along with the large influx from last night, I’d expect another good day tomorrow. As it was today, I think […]

  • Floodgates DID open!

    UPDATED: Well, the weather finally cleared out last night and birds along the eastern seaboard were able to make their journey south. Here’s the radar from sunset last night through sunrise this morning. As you can tell, I need to start downloading the images a little earlier, as birds were already in the air by […]

  • Eventually the gates must open

    Okay, so tonight the conditions are favoring east coast migration. Surface winds are forecast from the north to northwest (good for coastal sites), and the winds between the surface and 800mb are forecast from the north to northeast. Depending on what elevation bird decide to migrate at, we could see an influx from Pennsylvania to […]

  • In the shadow of the storm

    Here’s the radar from sunset last night through about midnight…then the radar goes into the infinite loop of doom. It looks like the storms to our north, along with strong easterlies over the northeast kept most of the migration to our west. There was some migration evident over our area last night, but it seemed […]
