Bird migration using radar

Hey guys, you all know that birds fly south in the fall. Ornithologists use the NEXRAD radar system--the same Doppler radar we use to track storms--to track birds. Check out this page from Ohio State. You can check out both the number of birds in the air as well as their direction and velocity all across the US here. (Cycle through topics at the bottom of the page.) Make sure to check out some of the rest of the pages at Gauthreaux's site as well.

How cool is that?
