Mondays with Martha #202 - Bird Migration Maps

Since we get so many customer questions about when certain migratory bird species will return in spring, I compiled a little online tour of my favorite bird migration map resources! Find leading edge reports of first sightings for species like ruby-throated hummingbirds and Baltimore orioles, understand annual migration patterns for more than 450 bird species, and get 3-day migration forecasts plus county-specific bird migration data and species lists to inform your birding adventures this spring!
