Whats also interesting is the big diurnal push apparent on the radar on March
31. Here is the loop, good for a few days before it goes away:
http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/radar/displayRad.php?icao=KUSA&prod=bref1&bkgr=black&endDate
140331&endTime&duration=4
Initially you see the final stages of nocturnal migration, and then a
substantial liftoff from Mexico to Louisiana, after sunrise, indicating a
diurnal movement. I had a conversation with Andrew Farnsworth, who runs
Cornell's http://Birdcast.org, and others, and this looks to be a combination
of anomalous propagation (making the signal appear larger than it probably is)
mixed with a lot of biological data (birds). Diurnal migrants such as gulls,
waders, waterfowl, etc. are the likely constituents. It could help explain the
Bairds Sandpipers, as maybe less so the pulse of Franklins Gulls yesterday
(Franklins can show up in March).
Cheers
