BirdCast's Migration Dashboard is now live! Follow the amazing numbers of migratory birds passing over your local county or state, in real-time! dashboard.birdcast.info Dig into flight altitudes, migration speeds, historical comparisons, and much more!

We are reaching peak bird migration in many parts of the United States. Remember to dim your lights for birds at night so that they can safely travel without becoming disoriented. 🧵

To mitigate bird collisions, enforce the Migratory Bird Treaty Act! New piece out in @PNASNews. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Exciting new work from the BirdCast Team!!

How can we use atmospheric pressure to better geolocate small #birds? 🐦🌍 Excited to see our paper "Global positioning with animal-borne pressure sensors" published! 🔗doi.org/10.1111/2041-2… Read more in the thread below ⬇️ #OpenAccess #Ornithology #Migration #Geolocator

We are looking for a Data Science & Software Engineer to join our @DrBirdCast team @CornellBirds. Apply by Dec. 5, 2022 tinyurl.com/23phuxhb

One reason fall migration is so breathtaking is you've got hordes of juvenile birds, added to millions of adult birds on their way south. 913M birds crossed Georgia last fall!—with AL, TX, MO, IA close behind. More about @DrBirdCast migration estimates: allaboutbirds.org/news/new-birdc…

More than 72k birds are predicted by @DrBirdCast and CSU Aeroeco Lab to migrate through NYC tonight, & 47k tomorrow night! Ask your building manager to turn nonessential building #lightsout now and throughout migration season to help prevent bird collisions with City buildings!

@photos_nic Us too! Unfortunately, Canadian radar data aren’t available live in the same way that US radar data are. We’re working on it.

Our BirdCast team loves a report from the field -- here's one from Colorado – the home of our western base of operations, Colorado State University: birdcast.info/news/reports-f…

And they keep on coming! Over the last 3 nights, 19.6 million birds passed through Cook County (per @DrBirdCast), and they will be taking no breaks through the end of the week. Call us at 773-988-1867 to report injured birds. You can contain them in a paper bag until we arrive.

If you've ever wondered when the best time is to #bird...I wouldn't be able to help you 🤣 But the forecast maps by @DrBirdCast @CornellBirds can help you figure out if you'll have a birdy morning. Check out our tips on using their amazing new dashboard! audubon.org/news/how-get-m…

Love the migration dashboards from @DrBirdCast. Super helpful to know when to expect high/low migrant numbers! And the expected migrants from @Team_eBird data is spot on. Except for magnolia and chestnut-sided warbler, Here are the birds dominating our sites at #springfieldbirds

The river of migrants keeps coming! Tonight @DrBirdCast estimates >400 MILLION birds in the air over the U.S., with the next two nights heavy as well. Great time to turn off nonessential lights and evaluate windows for collision hazards. bit.ly/LightsOutForBi… #LightsOutTexas

The floodgates are opening. The next 3 nights will see the biggest migration movement of the season so far in Chicago. Millions of birds will fly through Cook County, including warblers, who are frequent collision victims. Call us at 773-988-1867 if you find a bird in need.

Last night saw heavy migration across the Midwest. @DrBirdCast estimates >13M birds crossed Adams Co., Nebraska alone, with 78M across the whole state!! How did your county do? Stats for any county in the Lower 48: birdcast.info/migration-tool… Should be good birding!

As of 0500 MDT, @DrBirdCast estimates over 3 MILLION birds crossed Laramie County. I can’t even… #migration #audubon
