[mou] the migration in general

[Jim Williams]

This from the Wisconsin bird net, a perspective on migration to the south
and east.

experienced a pretty good "island-concentration" effect within his woods;
this is no surprise as last night's migration was the best on radar since
the night of the 9th-10th. A look at the weather map shows a very typical
spring migration scenario with a big high off to the east such that the
southerly flow from the high provided a nice tailwind ahead of a cold front.
Migration is detected on radar usually into mid-June but I'll bet that this
was the last big May night; hope I'm wrong.
