Unfortunately I think we’re nearing the end of any major nocturnal flights over Florida. Here’s the radar from sunset last night through sunrise this morning.

Frames are every 1/2 hour for reflectivity and velocity, and every hour for the regional composite. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation.

On southwest winds, I would have expected to see much more migration if indeed there were still migrant-ready birds coming up from the Caribbean and Yucatan. While some birds were still apparent on last night’s radar, it was only a trickle out of Cuba and probably not evident on the ground this morning. The regional composite does show some heavy migration though, but only for the panhandle, and only for birds leaving Florida. Summer is here, and so are the birds. Of course, I’ll keep an eye on the radar and post anything interesting as it happens.

Good Birding,

David
