Potential for pelagic watching next few days



Has anyone been to Cape Hatteras Point the last couple of days??

There continues to be very good potential for pelagic birds along the
North Carolina coast for a few days.

A high pressure to the north and a low pressure over Jamaica continues
to create a strong E to NE wind flow over the Atlantic south of the
Carolinas.  This is a perfect setup for pushing northward migrating
pelagic birds further to the west than normal.

A similar weather situation in 1970 resulted in thousands of
storm-petrels, shearwaters, and jaegers passing by just off the beaches
of Cape Hatteras.
