About 150-230M birds are predicted to migrate across the U.S. each night this weekend!

ALT Map of the Lower 48 uses colors to indicate density of migrating birds, with yellows, white and orange in the Midwest meaning a high intensity, and the majority of other areas in purple or pink to indicate lower intensity; large text on map reads ‘Night of August 21, 2026,’ and ‘229 million birds predicted.’
