All, I have noticed every night that the radar bird echoes are picking up more and more even when the winds are not that favorable. A significant cold front, the first of this budding upcoming "cold" season, will be upon the northern U.S soon. It will first cross the upper Plains Saturday and by Saturday Night the mid to upper Plains should be really good and by Sunday night...Great Lakes will have post frontal northwest winds. By Monday night...front clears the east coast but the winds will be lighter and not have as much of a northerly component. Nevertheless, I wouldn't be surprised to see increasing nocturnal migration in the northeast Monday Night too.
Good listening (and birding) to all...
