There was a question about quantifying how many migrants are moving in relation to radar. I mentioned some Sid Gauthreaux and Carroll Belser's work at Clemson to develop a calibration curve for interpreting radar reflectivity in comparison with Lowery's classic moonwatching work. I also promised some additional information for those interested. Andrew Farnsworth has posted a primer on understanding radar and birds that discusses this and other aspects of radar and birds. http://birdcast.info/forecast/understanding-birds-and-radar/ Cheers, Chris Christopher Wood eBird Project Leader Cornell Lab of Ornithology http://ebird.org<http://ebird.org/> http://birds.cornell.edu<http://birds.cornell.edu/> -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- Chris Tessaglia-Hymes Listowner, NFC-L Ithaca, New York c...@cornell.edu<mailto:c...@cornell.edu> NFC-L – Archives<http://www.mail-archive.com/nfc-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html> NFC-L – Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC_WELCOME> NFC-L – Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC_RULES> NFC-L – Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/NFC-L_SubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> -- NFC-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_WELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC_RULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NFC-L_SubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nfc-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NFC-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NFCL.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
