BirdCast
Watch the Bird Migration going on now!
Want to know what's happening in the sky tonight? Forget looking for planes or fireworks - it's time to watch the birds. BirdCast is a fascinating project that provides real-time data and forecasts on bird migration.
By using US weather surveillance radar data, BirdCast tracks the number and flight direction of migratory birds. This collaboration between researchers from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Colorado State University, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst helps us answer some incredible questions: when will birds be migrating, where will they go, and just how many will pass by on a given night?
BirdCast brings the spectacle of bird migration right to your fingertips, offering a unique and scientific perspective on one of nature's most amazing journeys. It's a great tool for anyone with a love for birds, a curiosity about the natural world, or an interest in data-driven insights. Check out birdcast.info to see the migration forecast for your area!
