Cornell - Birdcast is with weather surveillance radar = that's who

 

Last night the 24th 2,420,200 migrated over two central NYS counties

 

Tonight the 25th and next few day it is it expected that an additional 159 million more birds will cross over/through the Eastern & Central states

 

To help keep birds on their straight and accurate mission - dim outside lights when possible.

 

My hummers must be somewhere in the pack.  Juice is waiting for their arrivals.

Hope Grackles take a left turn to Canada.............

I thought the Great Backyard Bird Count already happened this year.  Maybe this is a do-over.  Smiley Happy

Thanks for your post, I love birds (and all animals), my favorite birds are Cardinals and Hummers....

 

I had to chuckle at your Grackle comment----I wish that too...they are a nusiance here and kill other birds....

Be prepared, grackle season has arrived

Re: Who's counting the birds?

If you are ever near Ithaca NY. and are interested in birds, visit the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.  I went once with a friend and it was really interesting , and I'm not a birder ). There were exhibits and tours and hiking through Sapsucker Woods. This was a few years ago , so if you're interested check out their website.

Re: Who's counting the birds?

I'm in Georgia and put up a hummingbird feeder for the first time a couple weeks ago.  Nothing yet, but I'm hoping it will attract some.

Re: Who's counting the birds?

I'm interested in everything about birds.  I started feeding them about 25 years ago, and then got interested in bluebirds and put nest boxes out for them.  I just put my hummingbird feeders out a couple of weeks ago as they are back in our area.

 

I love watching them.
