Subject: [leasbirds] Migration Prediction for May 1
After Drew sent his migration email out today, I realized that I hadn't checked
BirdCast in a few days. Looking ahead, it looks like the night of April 30 -
May 1 may be good for us! Birds that do not need thermals, like songbirds and
shorebirds, will generally begin their migration in the evening and travel
during the night. Sometimes they don't arrive at migration stopovers the next
day anywhere from mid-morning all the way to the evening (depending on wind,
weather, etc), so there is no wrong time of the day to bird and find new
migrants! I have attached the overview of the forecast for May 1 and included
the link to the site, which shows forecasts for three nights at a time.

You can also go to the Live Migration Forecast button on the right and watch
the direction, intensity, and timing of the predicted migration for the
upcoming (or a past) night.
