I noticed the same thing - thanks for saving me from another cold and bird less skywatch! KEN Kenneth V.

Contrary to the weather reports however, the high clouds above us are clearly coming out of the West by Northwest. I find it very puzzling. There have Been about six or seven flocks of mixed black birds. One turkey vulture and two ravens have flown over. But no geese and no raptors. I'm puzzled by the discrepancy between the weather stations reporting of wind direction and what I am seeing in the sky above me. Any thoughts?
