This is a great map. Is this something we can access? I have looked at the
NOAA aviation wind/streamlines maps but they are nothing like thisThanks Lee

Christopher,Based on your signature location and the current wind pattern:
https://earth.nullschool.net/#2020/09/18/0300Z/wind/isobaric/850hPa/orthographic=-77.30,42.81,960/loc=-76.383,42.485
You should be seeing this likely through the night with numbers getting less as
the night goes on but plenty of migrants. I have an article coming out in the
Fall North American Birds about why this is the case.
For the short and sweet, looking at the right altitude for migration, the winds
are the right direction for fall migrants into your area, the origin is quite
distant from you, and there is a frontal passage at right this time getting you
some extra convergence of birds in your area. The larger scale pattern shows
that there may be better places than where you are in terms of large scale
convergence, but your pattern is pretty damn good for migrants.
If you have questions, ask. I am happy to talk more about this.

Posted the following to the NFC Facebook group just now and thought I would
share here:
I’ve been listening live in Etna, NY tonight since 10:30pm. This has been an
epic migration night here and one of the more constantly vocal in recent
memory. Literally thousands and thousands of calls. Nearly constant calls of
warblers, thrushes, (and tanagers?), grosbeaks, occasional sparrows, all
stepping upon one another. First regular groups of Gray-cheeked Thrushes late
tonight. One Black-billed Cuckoo.
Only just now was there a notable gap of some 10-20 seconds without a call, as
a group of coyotes started yipping and whooping.
Most impressive night to be listening prior to this first calm. It will be
interesting to try to run these data through Vesper (I am recording to file
sequence using Raven Pro; plus recording the full night with my Swift recorder
and Flowrabola microphone.)
Good night-listening!
Sincerely,
Chris Tessaglia-Hymes
