For looking at specific radar stations I like the NCAR site. It is pretty
basic, but one can conveniently vary the loop interval to go back to sunset and
get the takeoff and evolution of the densities. Also in single image mode, a
click on the screen changes it to velocity mode useful to see

I made my annual pilgrimage to Doodletown Road today in the pleasant company of
Bob and Collen Veltri. We saw good numbers of ceruleans, including females on
nest. Hoodeds were everywhere, often singing alternate songs, one of which was
a spitting image of a yellow throated warbler. When we

This observation by David may help explain the migration/radar disconnect we
have been observing. Perhaps when birds migrate under cloudy conditions, they
are more likely to fly low and therefore escape detection by radar.

The very cooperative Dickcissel found yesterday by John Gluth was present this
morning behind the Park Avenue tennis courts of Southward’s Pond Park. Shortly
after 9 he flew way out toward the western horizon, but returned 15 minutes
later. Just as I was leaving he plopped down on the lawn 10

There were only modest densities of birds on radar last night over NYC and Long
Island, but the range was broad and the velocities were low, suggesting that
flyover and continuing morning migration might be reduced. To get a sampling of
birds reaching northern LI I visited the dump area of

their wings. I was also happy to see that the Lark sparrow was still present

After hanging around for 2 hours and missing the bird yesterday morning, I
deserted my wife for breakfast today to try again. This time it paid off, as
the bird was there and was close to the edge of the pond west of the bird
blind. Attached is a link to a video.

It was interesting to hear about the large movement at Floyd Bennet Field this
morning, and that the birds were heading west northwest, not south. The radar
last night showed a very high bird density moving southeast, ending centered on
mid Long Island. The density dissipated by 6 AM (1000

There was nice correlation of last night's radar and Steve's observations at
Jones Beach. The density of radar reflectivity was moderate, but the overall
migration appeared to be southeasterly, with peaks ending centered on the
Nassau-Suffolk border. Looks like there might be some corrective

After a pleasant morning in Central Park with fairly good activity at
the Point, I headed for Fuch's pond, where I entered the rare echelon of
birders who missed the prothonotary warbler three separate times. I
thereupon headed to Sunken Meadow park for a stroll on the boardwalk
with my wife.
