Text of the page (random words):
to drop over the keys we only expect a trickle of migrants at tried and true migrant traps the upper keys look best for birding from our perspective look out for migrants at natural areas and migrant traps along the chain of keys miami radar recorded many birds headed for the metropolitan miami area this morning moderate movements of migrants were headed up the coast with some dropping in on the coast west winds are a south florida birders best friend these conditions often carry birds over the southeast coast and puts them down early morning at migrant traps and coastal natural areas places such as elaine gordon enchanted forest arch creek park greynold s park pinetree park bill baggs cape florida sp matheson hammock park chapman field deering estate and other tried and true migrant hotspots should see some turnover today inland locations like ad barnes park castellow hammock county parks have the chance of picking up new arrives as well looking west to the everglades national park look out for migrants that decided to put down before flying over to the east coast stops along main park road such as the long pine key area hidden lake mahogany hammock and the flamingo area of the park should be seeing new arrivals today as well get out there birding and let us know what you are seeing moving into broward and palm beach county new arrivals will likely be on tap coastal migrant traps such as anne kolb nature center evergreen cemetery hugh taylor birch state park spanish river and juno dunes jupiter ridge natural areas should be your best bet for these areas further up the state one can expect a trickle of migrants nothing spectacular but migration should be noticeable more birds on the east coast today than the west coast but places like fort desoto green key st marks nwr and other known migrant hotspots always see some turnover the merritt island area as well as coastal hotspots up the east coast could be seeing new faces on the ground today the northeast region received some rain last night in these areas one could expect to see some grounded birds get out to your local natural areas and see if birds did indeed make a pit stop overnight enjoy the

am clear skies and slow birding hi all we will post interpretations of the radar as soon as we can we are currently at a birding and photo festival and have not had solid internet connection we took a quick look at the miami and key west radars and noted some moderate movements mostly heading from south north with clear skies overhead birds are flying right past most of our migrant traps we only expect a trickle of migrants today with the best spots being tried and true migrant traps we will try to update this a bit later today hope you all have a wonderful day frames are every 1 2 hour click

forecast key west radar miami radar migration migration tools radar radar migration radar ornithology weather posted by natureisawesome april 22 2015 9 44 am happy earth day hi all we hope you are all enjoying the increase in migrant numbers and diversity the last few days have been phenomenal for birders across much of the state this is all due to a slow moving cold front which brought us loads of rain and westerly winds conditions as such aren t a birds best friend but a birders dream that s for sure the air is clearing and these birds are likely going to take flight starting tonight it s hard to tell how many birds will leave and how many will stick around this all depends on when they arrived and how much food they have found another factor will be the winds if winds aren t optimal migrants may stay put or move short distances in hopes of finding better habitat west winds aloft persist while weak variable winds can be felt on the ground birds may stick around for a better night to fly so they may be around tomorrow just uploaded we have not been able to download the radar today but we did watch it overnight and early this morning many migrants were out over the fl straits last night winds and the unsettled atmosphere over the southern gulf sparked off large areas of precipitation likely put birds down in the dry tortugas the fl keys and southern miami dade which covers the national parks and most the migrant traps look out for birds if it was raining over your area overnight and this morning you should see a noticeable difference from the days past here are a few satellites images showing that the the majority of the clouds have moved east of the state but still some moisture lingers over the southern gulf of mexico frames are every 1 2 hour click on the

morning proves some birds made the flight north overnight a looming area of instability courtesy of a slow moving cold front is over the gulf of mexico stormy weather continues to brew and should be making it really hard for migrants that are attempting a gulf passage this morning migrant traps along the west coast of florida and the panhandle may have the best chances of seeing a concentration of migrants today and tomorrow take a look at satellite images of the gulf and see why we think birds are trapped and may vector birds towards florida s west coast from the sw coast to st george island today is looking like a good day for the birder we also noticed a roost ring just west of ft lauderdale this morning as birds are flying out for their morning forage radar records the group of birds flying out of the marsh check out these images overall winds have shifted out of the south ssw aloft and should have birds on the wing over the state look out for new arrivals at your favorite migrant trap today if you have time to travel keep an eye out for reports at classic migrant traps such as fort desoto st george island sanibel lighthouse key west and others the dry tortugas may also be seeing some migrants today reports of migrants been slow out there this week let s see what today brings frames are every 1 2 hour click on the thumbnail to view the full sized animation nature is

ornithology weather posted by natureisawesome april 19 2015 4 33 pm spring mix well the spring cycle continues to be working for the birds because we aren t seeing them some birds are trickling in here and there but nothing huge unstable conditions persist over the gulf as a result we are seeing large thunderstorms making their way towards the coast this could be making it hard for birds to travel where they want to go and may put them down along the first stretch of land they find currently a strong squall line is moving east of tallahassee check out the radar image this system is forecast to continue to move across fl and may affect folks all the way south to miami or even the fl keys keep an eye out for localized concentration of migrants these pockets of great birding can be just around the corner enjoy another sunday of birding frames are every 1 2 hour click on the thumbnail to view the full sized animation nature is awesome angel mariel rate this share this share on

looks like another gulf bound migration for the birds winds aloft likely carried birds out over the gulf of mexico gom if this is the case birds have it hard storms have been brewing in the gom and coastal locations along their arrival points essentially blocking their passage if migrants did indeed fly last night they will be looking for a landing spot pronto check out these satellite images of the gom here you can see stormy weather which is moving w e along the coast one image is the visible sat the other is a water vapor sat image this system will continue its move to the east where it becomes a serious threat to birds migrating if timing works out right tomorrow may be a really good to go birding depends on how long this system takes to clear out all we can do is wait and see what happens radar loops from last night into midday today were rather slow key west radar showed some migration birds moving sse nnw miami radar had some more action but that action flew right over velocity radar shows us that birds were moving s n over this radar location this should have out migrants out north of lake o by morning which bodes well for inland spots in the central fl hope to hear from readers in that area post your findings frames are every 1 2 hour click on the thumbnail to view the full sized animation nature is awesome angel mariel rate this share this share on

gulf bound migration posted in 2015 florida radar study birds key west radar miami radar migration radar radar migration radar ornithology posted by natureisawesome april 17 2015 8 34 am moderate movement se nw migrants continue to have great travel weather what works for the birds doesn t necessarily work for the birders the spring weather pattern in florida usually keeps southeast winds on tap just what a migrant coming from the west indies wants this weather pattern bodes well for long distance travel assisted by tailwinds and clear skies as migrants continue to take the se nw path they will continue to shoot over the sw portions of the state and out over the gulf of mexico nearly cutting their trip north in half what that means for the birders is simple go birding and take what you can get while you wait for better birding conditions so if you are out birding and have not seen many migrants this is why have patience for the weather pattern is changing up a look at the key west radar paints the picture of a classic spring migratory movement birds depart from cuba and points farther south or east and ride the super highway to the gulf coast birds want to get there quick and southeast winds are getting them there there is a silver lining to the cloud there seems to be a temporary break in the forcefield upper level winds are forecast to switch overnight looks like winds will be shifting out of the sw and eventually out of the west in the coming day if birds depart from the yucatan pennisula and the west indies tonight they should be vectored towards the sunshine state these winds may only affect the northern half of the state but could bring in some birds to fort desoto and other west coast migrant traps get out birding tomorrow morning and let us know what you find we would love to get some reports from our boots on the ground simply leave a comment here or comment on facebook shoot us a tweet with the info if you re into twitter tweet tweet
