Wondering what species are migrating through right now? Check out our analysis for the past 7 days.
Arrows show wind speed and direction (arrow points in the direction to which wind is blowing) 100 m above ground level. Areas with southerly winds are colored red; northerly winds colored blue. Accumulated precipitation (in 6 hour intervals) is green, outlined by white. Broadly speaking, areas of the map in blue will experience conditions that are favorable for migration, and areas where blue and green (and red and blue) intersect and overlap may experience migrant concentrations and fallouts as migrants interact with precipitation.
We use data collected by eBird users help make more accurate forecasts. If you enjoy the predictions contained in these posts, please consider submitting your own bird sightings to eBird to even further improve the content. Every observation counts, whether it be a single bird at a feeder in your backyard, or an entire day spent in a national park. To get started with eBird, head on over to the site !

Quick Links to Regions
Upper Midwest and Northeast
A coastal pulse of moderate to locally heavy flights kicks off the weekend, before warmer air and more southerly flow builds into the region and quiets the system through Wednesday. But by mid week, a stronger frontal boundary pushing through the region will bring widespread moderate to heavy, even locally very heavy, flights, first to the Great Lakes and Mississippi River valley on Wednesday night and then to the Ohio River valley, Appalachians, and Atlantic coast.

Gulf Coast and Southeast
A coastal movement in the Carolinas, Georgia, and peninsular Florida over the weekend will see locally moderate to heavy flights. But these movements are the migration highlight for the bulk of the period. Scattered light to moderate flights will occur elsewhere in the region in marginal and unfavorable conditions, depending on the strength of southerly flow across the region. Not until the end of the period, or the beginning of the next period, does the region see the arrival of more favorable conditions, and moderate to heavy flights (and those will be mostly west of the Mississippi River and north of the Gulf Coast).

Great Plains
A quiet weekend for migration yields to a much more exciting work week, with moderate to heavy flights on Sunday through Tuesday nights. Some of these flights, particularly those in the central Plains on Tuesday night, may occur in close proximity to precipitation, creating concentration and fallout potential in these areas. A slight brief respite in the excitement follows on Wednesday night, before a larger and cooler air mass arrives to end the week. As this air mass arrives, moderate to heavy, and even local very heavy, flights will follow.

West
Favorable conditions for migration will be much more widespread across the West this week, with many areas experiencing light to moderate flights. Of particular note, the Pacific Northwest will experience moderate flights where precipitation is not falling on Friday night; much of the northern half of the region will experience light to moderate flights on Monday night; and portions of the Desert Southwest and the eastern front of the Rockies will experience light to moderate flights to close the period.
