Upper level (925 mb.) winds are light and uniformly E except for New Orleans which is NE. The only over-water bird echoes I see are a bare sprinkling offshore from Brownsville (where there are scattered showers in the vicinity). All incoming targets at Corpus Chisti are raptor-like flocks near and south of Kingsville. Elsewhere all displays look like insect returns. John C.
