Migratory Birds Are in Peril, but Knowing Where They Are at Night Could Help Save Them
Aug 28, 2023
Migratory birds face danger from artificial lights at night, but researchers are using weather radar to track their movements. By studying bird migration patterns and understanding the impact of weather, machine learning can predict bird movements. Light pollution poses a threat to birds, causing behavior changes and building collisions. Maps can predict bird migration patterns and cities can reduce light pollution to promote bird conservation.
