US Bird spring migration has begun and they are on the move

Post by A2022 »

In the United States, spring migration for birds usually occurs from March 1 to June 15, and fall migration usually occurs from August 1 to November 30. However, some species migrate earlier or later.

Last week I passed a few big birds, they were headed north. If you are located in the flyways, keep an eye outside the cockpit for them. Have a plan if your canopy is breached by bird impact and you have 140 kt wind in your face.
