I am extremely, extremely busy with musical commitments for the next 7 days so in order to balance out schoolwork and music, I will only be posting again on Monday night and then on the following Saturday night (!). Wish I could post more frequently, but the life of a musician can be hectic (but fun!)...
Tonight, Illinois is experiencing uniform moderate to moderately-heavy concentrations of migration, as seen by the fairly even blue radar noise showing up across the state on the current national composite radar: http://tempest.aos.wisc.edu/radar/us3comp.gif
Here is the day-by-day breakdown of what to expect:
Tonight: moderate to heavy movement
Tomorrow: favorable conditions for hawk watching in NE IL
Tomorrow night: moderate movement likely
Sunday: favorable conditions for hawk watching in NE IL
Sunday night: very little movement expected
Monday: semi-favorable conditions for hawk watching in NE IL
