Information & education

BirdCast

     · Migration tools

       - 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.”
