  • Ground Control to Woodcreeper…

    Sorry for apparently dropping off of the planet. I was in Florida for family matters (Inga’s grandfather’s memorial) which turned more complicated when my own 94-year-old grandmother unexpectedly passed away. Needless to say I wasn’t focused on Mid-Atlantic migration during that week and have only just begun to recover from the whirlwind trip. So right […]

Here’s the radar from sunset last night through 5:00am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation. Looking at these loops I can see […]

Here’s the radar from sunset last night through 5:00am this morning. Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation. Oh […]
