birds!

This article about crowd sourcing the mapping of bird population migration has some super cool maps! Even cooler are the implications: With the country's population as our bird sensor, we can see where birds are migrating orders of magnitude more finely than ever before. Did you ever think of yourself as the sensor?? Well now you can! (Maybe you did if you've ever used the USGS website Did you feel it... What else can we sense?)
