Here at BirdCast, we turn weather radar data into information on the numbers and flight directions of birds aloft in order to expand the understanding of migratory bird movement. We have been hard at work serving you products, like the new migration forecast and live migration maps. After several years (and hundreds of posts) describing migration, species on the move, and unique migration events, we want you to have a better understanding of what happens at BirdCast. In this article, we’ll give you a brief overview and a behind-the-scenes look at the ways we apply radar data to study bird migration.
