Regional Overview at ~0400 on 5-14-2012

ARIZONA

The Yuma radar is back in action! There appeared to be a fair amount of birds moving west of Yuma out of the Sea of Cortez last night. Birds most likely headed to the coast and went further north from there. There was light migration in central and southeast Arizona throughout most of the night.
