Subject: [ALbirds] another incoming flight meeting the rain
AL Birders:

The theme of the last few days is repeating itself, with another incoming flight apparently running into the rain as we speak.

The images below are this morning, 730 am and 1000am. Notice that the blue haze of incoming birds over the water is absent at 730am (because they have not yet arrived over the Gulf), but widespread at 1000am. And getting smacked by rain in the latter.

There was no hint of a departure on radar last night on the radar, so yesterday's arrivals are presumably still around as well.
