As has been the case for the many years of watching bird movements on radar, what you are seeing is birds taking advantage of clearing weather and light winds to make the jump south. Contrary to what you might think, big movements of birds on radar mean there will be little putting down on the ground. With clear skies and no wind, birds will fly right over south Florida and continue on over the straights. Don't get too excited by these radar images. all they are showing are all the birds we will NOT see this migration.
