Migration alert: high intensity migration predicted for the night of 28-29 September 2020

Andrew Farnsworth The Cornell Lab Sep 28, 2020

The BirdCast model is predicting high intensity migration for the night of 28-29 September 2020.

We estimate that 594 million birds will take flight tonight across the contiguous US. And there will be additional, similarly large flights, in the coming nights! This will likely represent one of the largest series of migration nights of the year.

For those in areas under heavy migration advisories, this will be a great opportunity to experience nocturnal migration by listening at night to vocal birds in flight, or by observing the following morning for new arrival and departures. In the highly urbanized areas, especially cities in the central and southern US, it is also particularly important to turn off lights at night to avoid attracting birds into hazardous conditions in which they can collide with buildings and other structures.

The expandable tables that follow detail what species will be on the move in your region of the US. For further information about BirdCast regions, species on the move, and the data we use, please visit this review page.
