Description
On The Bird Banter Podcast Episode #24 Ed and Nick talk about Nick's recent Alaska trip, his 2019 "self-found" or "no chase" Connecticut big year where he is doing a big year where he does not chase birds found by others, rather looks for his own bird sightings. We also talk about his role in leading trips for the Connecticut Audubon, including an upcoming trip to sub-Saharan Africa, using NEXRAD to monitor migration, and of course his birding story.
Nick has a blog, Shorebirder.com https://www.shorebirder.com/
Here is a link to a resource for pelagic trips out of Cape Cod. https://www.brooklinebirdclub.org/pelagic-trips-2/
Here is a link to the eBird primer on using radar to follow migration. https://ebird.org/news/radar
Here is the site Nick recommends for access to radar data http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/radar/
-Nick suggests the following settings.
Product: 0.5 Reflectivity
Background: (doesn't really matter)
End date: Today
End time: Most recent
Loop duration: 3-4 hours...this gives you a good timespan to see migration in action. You can view the "liftoff" as the sun sets, or you can view the much more gradual "descent" of birds as dawn approaches.
I'll be sure to put up a blog post with this info on http://birdbanter.com/index.php/blog/
Until next time; Good birding. Good day!
