  • Heavy migration across mid-Atlantic

    Clear skies and northeasterly winds made for a big night of nocturnal migration across the region. Here’s the radar from 7:00pm last night through 5:00am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour.

  • No migration last night

    Only 6 more days to take the woodcreeper/badbirdz-reloaded, online survey! To those of you who took it yesterday, thanks!

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. With June […]

  • Light migration last night
