Read the Weather. Time the Flight.

Every flyway has a migration fingerprint. The birds it carries, when they push, and the weather that moves them. Learn the birds, watch the fronts, and be set up when the flight hits.

Atlantic Flyway

ME · NY · PA · MD · VA · NC · SC · St. Lawrence → Chesapeake Bay

Saltmarsh, tidal rivers, and four hundred years of gunning history. The Chesapeake is the anchor: buffleheads and bluebills on the bay, woodies in every beaver swamp, September honkers in every hayfield.
