MILWAUKEE -- Get your orange halves, jelly, sugar water and binoculars ready!
Officials with the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative shared on Facebook a radar image from early Sunday, April 29, which shows a pipeline of birds migrating up the central United States.
According to the WBCI, the corridor of favorable south winds triggering this would shift eastward Sunday and bring a wealth of new migrants to Wisconsin Sunday night through Wednesday.
Among them will be the first Baltimore orioles, rose-breasted grosbeaks, ruby-throated hummingbirds and various warblers.
It was just a few weeks ago that wildlife officials were encouraging people to put out food for birds after our late April snowfall -- with wildlife rehabilitation centers taking in emaciated birds that had difficulty finding food due to the snow cover.
