You are the fellow flying the helicopter? If so, that is good to know. The guys in the sky can figure out a lot more about general trends than us folks at sea level at times. From what you describe, it sounds different from migrations I seen before where they are moving on masse in large numbers in one direction. Or maybe, it was just dinner time and they were looking for some chow? I've seen spinners more commonly in the Ft. Lauderdale area in the cooler months, at least outside of summer. I've had the impression that they may be more common up your way running northward past Sebastian. I believe they may run south in part driven by temperature gradients and at some point, return back north. The last time I noticed a good northerly migration it was northward around this time in March a couple of years back.
