ANOTHER VERY BUSY BIRD MIGRATION NIGHT... 19 MILLION THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA!
If you looked at the radar overnight, you may have noticed a lot of "rain". But, did you know the radar can detect other things than just rain, snow, and sleet? Last night was a busy bird migration night, and the number of birds was picked up on the NWS Pittsburgh radar! There are estimates of around 19.2 million birds that crossed through the state last night, which is now one of the busiest nights this spring!
Tonight is expected to be another busy night for migration, where millions of birds could take flight across the state. The next few nights will be busy until the cold front sweeps through on Wednesday. Keeping feeders clean, providing fresh water, and reducing outdoor artificial lights at night can help support migrating birds along their long journey.
