The New Orleans/Baton Rouge radar:

That large blue donut surrounding the radar site show the birds. It
takes the form of a ring because the radar looks higher up farther
out, and as the birds are flying in a fairly narrow altitude range
they show as a ring. In bad weather you see the bird haze
disappearing at the coast, not continuing inland. These migrants are
not even thinking about stopping at the coast, and are continuing to
sail north at 50 m.p.h. riding the southerly gales.
The Jackson MS radar shows many birds continuing over and beyond
central Mississippi:

Columbus AFB in NE Mississippi shows at least some of the birds
flowing north across the state line into Tennessee air space:

The Nashville radar shows weaker bird echos, meaning that either (a)
the radar is tuned differently, or (b) the wave of migrants has not
yet reached that far north today, or (c) the birds are finally
setting down across northern Mississippi and middle Tennessee:
