BirdCast forecast of 277 million birds for the night of April 22, with Texas through the upper Midwest being the main river of birds, but also strong along the Gulf Coast, FL, and into Georgia. A giant light bulb is over the west part of the map and the text next to it reads: “Lights Off Tonight!”

The forecasts are always low; I think we easily see another over 300millon flight night this evening.

from above they look like purple tinted weeds, but actually they are tiny flower forests.

I saw swallows dipping at the lake last week but their identity is a mystery to me 😅 they didn't reflect in the sun like I was expecting tree swallows to.

I bought cheese & crackers. but I finished the crackers before the cheese. so I had to buy more crackers. but then I had too many crackers and ran out of cheese. so I bought more cheese...how do I break the skewed cheese-to-cracker ratio cycle?

With all this talk about birds I want to be sure everyone knows about the Birds Feed. All birds all the time, posted by real photographers and artists and no AI slop!
