Default Incredible bird migration -- in just one night!

Local television news, local newspapers along with our statewide newspaper the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that from 7:40pm Tuesday night Aug. 30th to 6:20am Wednesday morning Aug. 31st an incredible 48.4 million birds were migrating through Wisconsin, including 9.4 million through Wisconsin's Marathon County. These incredible numbers were aided by cloudy skies with brisk west and northwest winds making migration favorable for the birds. At its peak there were 557 million birds in flight at 9:20pm throughout the USA. All this was detected by BirdCast Radar.

Who'da thunk it?
