Noel Wamer made us all “radar junkies”. Just because he’s off the official scene, doesn’t mean we can all up and quit cold-turkey. This blog is an attempt to keep the radar images coming, and to engage birders, scientists, and anyone else who is interested, in the study of migration using radar. Beginning in October 2008, Angel and Mariel Abreu joined the Badbirdz team as contributing authors, and as of Spring 2009 have become the primary authors and administrators of the site. My other site, www.woodcreeper.com, tracks nocturnal migration over New Jersey, and was heavily influenced by Noel’s old website, badbirdz.com. Personally, I’m taking a hiatus from posting the radar since I’m finishing my doctorate at Rutgers University and will defend my thesis in July 2009. When I’m done, though, I plan to work on making Badbirdz-Reloaded and Woodcreeper.com both more scientific and useful for birding and research.
If anyone is interested in becoming an author on this site, please email me at david@woodcreeper.com and I’ll set you up. Commenting is always encouraged and you need not register to do so.
