North winds are back

Regional Overview

After a single night of excellent migration, we are back into the pattern of north winds again. Lots of birds arrived yesterday so it is a good bet that they are still around, possibly making small movements towards breeding areas or spots with excellent food resources.

The eastern portion of the state may have seen some migration last night before the rain rolled in. It wasn’t strong but enough to bring in a few new birds. The rest of the state saw very little migration due to the north winds. However, with the radar lighting up south of us, western and central PA may get a small influx of new birds today.

As always, please leave me comments on what you find out in the field.
