Spring Banding About to Start

 It has been a long winter and an even longer spring but the weather looks to be favorable for at least getting into the field and putting up some nets.

Tonights Doppler radar shows a good movement of birds up the central U.S. mainly along the Mississippi basin. With this many birds in the air there should be new species showing up in the area by morning. Southeasterly winds will make tomorrow breezy.

The Birdcast image from 10:15 Central Time estimates over 124 million birds in the air over the U.S.. Both of these maps give me hope that tomorrow will be more active in the field than the last couple of weeks. New birds are showing up in small numbers but the next 3-4 days should see that change.

Good Birding and keep looking up.
