🌷 Ahhhh, finally. Spring has arrived in North America! International Bird Day is here and the skies are alive with migratory birds on the move, guided by instinct and weather as they make their incredible journeys across continents. Thanks to tools like BirdCast and eBird, we can now predict and track these amazing arrivals in real time, making spring migration a binge-worthy show! From the first hummingbird observations to flocks of millions of birds traveling overnight (it's a great time to turn off or dim unnecessary lighting inside and outside!), this season is action-packed. This is your sign to take a break, step outside, and look up! Find out when Migratory Birds will arrive at the link in our bio!

Billions of birds migrate through the US, mostly under the cover of darkness, during fall and spring. A migration monitoring program called BirdCast, brought to you by Colorado State University and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, offers amazing bird migration forecast maps, including a live map and local alerts. Their data shows birds usually begin to migrate 30 to 45 minutes after sunset, with the greatest number in flight two to three hours later. In Sonoma County, expected night fliers this month include the Lincoln’s Sparrow, Fox Sparrow, Varied Thrush, and Ring-Necked Duck. To explore real-time analysis of nocturnal bird migration near you visit https://birdcast.info. While there, you can also learn about Lights Out campaigns and local efforts to reduce light pollution and help nocturnal fliers navigate the night sky. #sonomacounty #nightmigration #BirdCast @cornellbirds

It’s gonna be a busy Friday night, for the birds! 🐥 Tonight, birds are on the move across the U.S.. Get ready to go birding this weekend with Merlin and find migrating species near you. BirdCast forecasts heavy migration through the Central and Eastern regions with tens of millions of birds flying overhead after sunset. Expect warblers, thrushes, sparrows, and more as spring migration picks up. Check BirdCast's real-time migration dashboard for your area and get your binoculars and Merlin ready!

Looks like afew birds flew over us last night in Tennessee! @cornellbirds #birdcast #birding #birdwatching #birdlife #birdhikes #thelivingland

In the newest episode of Bring Birds Back, we dive into the hidden world of migration with aeroecologist Dr. Adriaan Dokter, where weather radar becomes a tool for tracking birds in flight. Originally built for detecting storms (and even airplanes during World War II), today’s radar networks are helping scientists uncover something incredible: the massive, invisible rivers of birds moving across the continent. You won’t see them on your weather app, but they’re there. And now, we can finally measure the magnitude of it all. Listen now at BirdNote.org, or wherever you get your podcasts. Season 8 of Brings Birds Back is sponsored by @cornellbirds Bird Academy and @tetonscience. #Birds #BirdNote #BringBIrdsBack #Podcast #NewRelease #BirdCast #BirdsOfInstagram #science #nature #Wildlife #Migration #InstaBirds #ornithology #BirdNote #OptOutside #ScienceIsCool #BirdFeathers #Birdstagram #Nature #Birds_4you #InstaNature #PodcastEpisode #Birdwatching

It's Fall migration. Did you know that weather radar can do more than just track storms? 🌧️🦅 It can also uncover the secret journeys of migrating birds! Most birds migrate at night so we can't see them. With Birdcast, you can now tap into this amazing technology to see bird migrations in real-time, and get migration forecasts, right from your own device. Set an alert for your area. We have a blog post about it at birdclub.club as well. . . . . . . #BirdMigration #NatureTech #birding #birdwatching #birdstagram #birdlife #aves #bird #birds #nature #birdsofinstagram #birdcast #birdclub #cornelllabofornithology #weather #radar #thisisbirding
