Winter weather folklore

Woolly bear caterpillars—also called woolly worms—have a reputation for being able to forecast the coming winter weather. But how? And just how true is this weather lore? 🐛

Bird Migration Forecast

Many birds in the United States have begun their fall migration. Peak migration period is typically mid-August to mid-October. However, some species may migrate earlier or later in both the spring and fall. Tonight, there are 240 MILLION birds predicted to migrate across the states!

Don't forget to turn off or dim the lights at night so birds can use the starry night sky to navigate!
