I've been told that the?original?Photobucket link below doesn't work and sure enough, it doesn't. ? This one looks the same to me but I tested it and it worked whereas the other one previously posted didn't. ?Someone let me know if it still doesn't work. ?Thanks for your interest in the topic. ?

Since the sky is clear I thought I would post a daytime picture so you can see the difference between it and the normal migration pattern. ?The day picture for most radar locations won't show birds because the don't launch in mass until after sunset but here on the coast there are enough birds in the air to show up. ?

The birds that are moving are heading north instead of south. ?The time of high tide moves from south to north. ?High tide comes to Tokeland first and progresses up the coast for instance. ?I think this pattern indicates birds that are drifting along the shore feeding as the tide moves. ?The birds milling around over the water may include fishers like Terns and Shearwaters as well and there may be birds out there that took the water route jumping across the bay from the Westport Side. ?Anyway, I think it helps to illustrate what a true migration pattern looks like when you see it. ?
