Miami radar has let us down for the second day in a row now; with the radar going out about every hour and a half, it made it hard to decipher what was going on. One thing that was evident was that birds were coming into the radar but with the gaps in time we are having a hard time tracking what really went on. We are counting on Miami birders to let us know what is around today.
The Keys experienced heavy migration last night and this morning, as of 12:00 p.m. huge amounts of birds are still in the air making their way to Cuba. A huge exodus to Cuba usually means that the Keys will be sucked dry but today may be an exception as birds are still over them right now. Some of these birds may choose to land as there are some storms around and it s also heating up, hopefully birders out in the Keys have a nice influx of birds.
All in all it was a nice night for migration, hopefully birders around Florida will stop by and report their sightings so that we can get a picture of what is really on the ground. Have a great weekend and enjoy the nice cool weather.

Nature is Awesome,
