Several bird species are expected to migrate through Iowa tonight. Migration data and maps from birdcast.org indicate the state will experience high migration intensity. Overnight last night over a million birds flew through Iowa’s skies and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources asks that all outside lights be turned off between 11pm and 6pm to help the birds find their way. Species flying through the state include orioles, grosbeaks, buntings, and hummingbirds, warblers, thrushes, and sparrows. Here is a link so you can follow the progression! BIRDCAST
