Sustained south winds made for a slower day of raptor migration. As raptors migrated into the headwinds they flew by slower than normal, giving all of the visitors great views and opportunities to study the profile and behavior.
Although tomorrow afternoon is expected to have south-based winds, the first half of the day will consist of light winds blowing in from the northwest (a preferred wind direction for raptor migration in Cape May). It will be interesting to see how these winds play into the game of raptor migration. See you at the hawkwatch!
