Meteorologists use Doppler radar to track precipitation across the country. \u00a0It provides not only information about falling rain and snow, but also a sense of the direction of the winds, which can help provide information about potential severe weather such as tornadoes. \u00a0But Doppler radar can also track other things in the sky, such as bats, insects and birds.<\/p>\n

AgWeb<\/em> had an interesting article with accompanying video earlier this week on a novel use for Doppler radar in tracking waterfowl\u00a0that could be carrying avian flu. \u00a0This devastating disease has killed millions of birds and is a grave risk for poultry farmers, so any information about the path of avian flu-infected wild birds is going to be very useful to the farmers. \u00a0You can read the story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
