Cornell Lab of Ornithology recently presented BirdCast, a real-time prediction of bird migration through various means. The information, predictions and comments are updated weekly and they welcome ground truth comments from observers. Here is a brief synopsis:
"The goal is to synthesize eBird data, night flight calls captured by acoustic monitoring stations and clouds of migrating birds detected at night by WSR-88D weather radar stations. The proposed work will allow, for the first time, real-time predictions of bird migrations: when they migrate, where they migrate, and how far they will be flying."
The following URL is an overview of the project but more importantly, on the right side of the page is a link to the weekly weather predictions and how they may affect bird migration.
