The amazing thing is that while we report seeing birds in ones, tens, maybe hundreds and very occasionally a thousand these radar pictures represent 100s of thousand of migrating birds all in the air at the same time over Western WA making their way to their summer breeding grounds. ?It's a beautiful thing to?conceptional?all those wonderful beating wings making their heroic journey that the radar images represent and you can watch it every night with no more than the computer in front of you. ?Of course it's a little sad in the fall to watch them leave. ?
