Hello all, For those in the greater New York metropolitan area, an interesting and large flight is happening now. Despite what would normally be marginal conditions for fall movements (mild temperatures and southerly winds), migrants apparently decided time of the season would trump those tonight, even if only in a limited geographic area (check your favorite local radar outlet for visuals). In lights of some of the taller buildings in east midtown Manhattan migrants can be seen passing now, and there is also a nice audible component to this movement (White-throated Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco, and Hermit Thrush among some other species).
