While at any given moment some birds somewhere are migrating, the fall passage of long-distance migrant land birds over the mid-Atlantic has most certainly tapered off. Most of these birds have arrived or are arriving at their wintering grounds in the southern US, Central America, or the Caribbean and some even beyond into South America.

During the time between fall and spring migration I will be taking a reprieve from the regular 5-day forecast and instead will report periodically on broader topics regarding migration of all sorts. You can expect periodic posts from now until March, so make sure you check back regularly, or better yet, subscribe to the mid-Atlantic forecast through the RSS feed at the top of the page. I hope you found the migration forecasts helpful, informative, or at least interesting, and if you have any suggestions for this coming spring, please don't hesitate to send them to me at david@woodcreeper.com.

Have a great winter!
