Information & education
~ Migration dashboard
· “…provides summaries of radar-based measurements of nocturnal bird migration for the contiguous
United States, including estimates for the total number of birds migrating as well as their directions,
speeds, and altitudes. Watch migration patterns in near real time or see a summary for a whole night
the next morning. Check back often to find out how migration has changed across a night and season
and to learn which species of nocturnally migrating birds are likely migrating through your region. The
live data feed runs from March 1 to June 15 during spring migration and from August 1 to November 15
during fall migration.”
· “When, where, and how far will birds migrate? How many birds passed last night? Our tools help
you explore the answers to these and many other questions about bird migration.”
· “BirdCast is a consortium of interdisciplinary researchers, primarily from three organizations at
present, with a growing list of collaborators, supporters, and partners.”
