Migrating birds seen on radar

Streams of migrating birds can be seen on radar this evening. A snapshot of radar at 330 PM CST this evening shows a detectable stream of echo returns where no clouds or weather exists. Looking visibly to the west of the radar, flocks of geese or Sandhill cranes, or both, can be seen, against an approaching sunset, flying south.
