The Cornell Lab of Ornithology introduces BirdCast, a website providing real-time tools and forecasts for bird migration in the United States. If you have ever wondered when, where, and how far birds will migrate then the BirdCast website is for you.
Migration Forecasts
The forecasts for bird migration are powered by 23 years of radar observations along with the most recent Mesoscale weather forecast for North America.

The migration forecasts are updated every 6 hours and show the predicted nocturnal migration 3 hours after local sunset. More information about the forecasts can be found here.

my favorite birds or should mamiferes are the bats, the best animal in the world very hate from a lot of people but lovely for a lot too like me because they transport a lot of seeds fruit to plant and a lot of trees fruit that we enjoy their fruits probably should harvest from a bat.
best regard, sorry if my comment is not about your migration of birds.
Bats are an important part of the ecosystem. Most people do not know how beneficial bats are to the environment.
Have a great weekend!
Steem on,
Mike
