Nearly 1 **Billion** birds were in the sky migrating south last night. We knew it would be a big night, but the birds beat model estimates by a significant margin. Honestly tonight has the potential to be even bigger. Now through Sunday is the most important time to turn off those outdoor lights to help migrating birds on their journey south. I will post a link later today on other ways you can help birds. Take a look at that national radar picture near midnight last night. Most of the colors were birds, and the big bird surge was in the red circle. Our entire area will be in that zone tonight.
