  • A light flight over the mid-Atlantic

    Light and variable winds again last night triggered a light flight of nocturnal migration over most of the mid-Atlantic and northeastern US.

Note that the Fort Dix radar is down for maintenance and so is missing from both the single and composite images. Frames are every 1/2 hour. […]
