The U.S. National Hurricane Center radar recently observed a flock of birds traveling in the eye of the hurricane... it is “fairly common” to find certain types of birds inside a hurricane, Andrew Farnsworth, visiting scientist at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology...'
Several species rarely touch ground anyway. 🤷🏻♀️
Apparently they hang out in the eye where the winds are fairly calm, but the fish get churned up to the surface by the storm.

@Bix
I’m afraid to ask this… are any of the thousands of birds trapped in Milton alive?
