Greetings, Forecast is for clear skies and a light north wind early tonight. There may be some birds migrating early on, though I don't expect a huge flight. For anyone interested, I'll be up in the near vicinity of the Mount Pleasent Observatory (top of Mt. Pleasant Rd. a few miles east of Ithaca, NY) by 9PM and will have two audio stations available for listeners. It might be a good night to learn the night flight calls of Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Swainson's and Gray-cheeked Thrush, and some of the more distinctive warblers as they pass southward toward the tropics for the winter.
If you come up, dress warmly and please drive carefully in the vicinity of the observatory as there may be people wandering about and cars turning around. Parking is on the shoulder of Mt. Pleasant Rd. Should be a beautiful evening in any case, and I'm told Uranus will be visible with binoculars (and perhaps by eye) to the right of Jupiter. I'll be there until at least 11PM, later if the migration is good.
