Whoa! I was checking the bird migration map here https://birdcast.info/migration-tools/live-migration-maps/ (because I want birds to come back! Soooo tired of winter), and I noticed that the bird migration is actually stopping at that band of crazy weather happening along the Ohio/Mississippi Valley right now! Maybe this is a common thing, but super interesting to see.

Does that mean that when the weather calms down there's gonna be a big wave of birds heading north all in one go?

It is fairly obvious that they'd do this, when I think about it.
