World Migratory Bird Day is coming up on Saturday. And it’s good timing, since May and June are peak months for migrating birds in the Northland.

“The majority of birds, especially waterfowl, and almost all songbirds, migrate almost exclusively at night. Really during spring and fall migration, it doesn’t matter whether it’s daytime, nighttime, there are likely some birds or very many birds in some cases overhead. You know, 24 hours a day, which is pretty amazing,” he said.
