Today’s Weather Trivia:

April 28,2007: Flocks of tens of millions of small migrating birds, mainly warblers, vireos, and swallows, moving north to Canada showed up as rain showers on U.S. weather radar screens. Blue blotches (for light rain) began to dot radar images from the Mississippi Valley east to the Atlantic. Many songbirds weigh only a few dozen grams but, being mostly water, produce a powerful return signal for radar. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
