IMPORTANT NOTE: Team Birdcast is focusing on preparing for tomorrow’s Global Big Day , and as a result we haven’t been able to write a thorough forecast and analysis by our usual Friday deadline. Here is an abbreviated forecast, with weather maps and species lists; the analysis for the past week and potentially a supplemental forecast will be published in the coming days. Go birding tomorrow!
Blackburnian Warbler. Brian Sullivan/Macaulay Library. 13 May 2009. eBird S29041135.
Continental Summary
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 red will experience conditions that are favorable for migration, and areas where red 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 !
Additionally, please note that photographs and other digital media showing birds come from the Macaulay Library , which receives credit along with the photographer/observer in the media caption as part of a new initiative that allows public contribution, access and use of natural history media .
