RTX is back on line! Whew; that can take over a week sometimes. Came back on line late Friday.
Migration is entering it’s peak phase. Most, but not all vanguards have arrived and are being followed by the trailing hoards.
Wilson’s Warblers were over the top conspicuous when i was in the field Saturday. A few more reports of Swainson’s Thrush and i definitely heard my first Western Wood Pewee on Sunday and a handful of other reports are up on eBird. Lazuli Buntings are filling in. Bullock’s Orioles have made it to the Seattle area. No sign of Willow Flycatchers yet.
The Atlantic Flyway was the only flyway that was underwhelming in regard to it’s capacity. The rest look to be at full tilt.
I threw in the Seattle (ATX) loop today for good measure:
-
- Base Reflectivity – RTX
-
- Base Reflectivity – ATX
-
- National Radar Composite
