Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar

Gus and all, For predicting local movements I would recommend referring to a more local scale radar. Your link shower strong movement last night to our south, which is indeed an indicator of birds on the ground the next morning here, but it is not the only one. Checking the below link this

I believe the best indicator of new birds landing in NYC is the radar activities above the city in the early morning hours, before sunrise. Radar activities in the evening hours, before midnight, indicate birds leaving the city. There are activities this early morning which suggest new birds in

Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar musings

The radar reflectivity that we see is proportionally to the amount of water in a given volume of atmosphere as sensed by the radar. Birds are largely made up of water and hence they are highly reflective. Hence, when we see high radar returns from birds it is due to the density of birds in that

I think I might have run into some musings at the Forest Park water hole today, maybe even some hallucinations. But once again, numbers surely weren’t as high as the radar reflectivity might have suggested. I would say there were more birds than there had been, but nothing to write home about

The radar pattern tonight is similar to what it was last night.  High reflectivity and high velocity in a NW direction.  Does this mean tomorrow will be birdy or quiet? I can’t say for sure but I’d like to share some thoughts about it.   Steve brings up the issue of promising radar reports

For the first night this year there is movement on radar in the NY metro area, and with a surprisingly moderate level of reflectivity. The velocity image shows movement at a rapid clip of perhaps 50-60 knots in a northwest direction. And while this might ordinarily favor flyover, there is a

Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar

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

Re: [nysbirds-l] Radar

Just to clarify a bit -- this concentrating of birds at low altitudes and/or birds landing is probably happening across a larger area, but we can only see it over west-central Long Island because that's the only place where the radar is able to sample low altitudes due to its location. Benjamin
