"I'm super excited. If someone tells me it's going to be a great day, it really just gives you that extra push to get out there," said Amy Cook about the heightened bird migration.
"There's going to be this really favorable set of like cooler air temperatures, tailwinds or wind blowing out of the north and west. And that's what's in the very most proximate sense, bringing this about," Andrew Farnsworth explained the conditions for migration.
Farnsworth described this migration season as an 'odd year,' due in part to the dreary weather the five boroughs suffered through in late September as a byproduct of Hurricane Helene.
Between 90,000 and 230,000 migrating birds are killed from striking into buildings every year, according to NYC Bird Alliance data, a significant concern during heightened migration periods.
