— Jeff Last (@JeffLast) This is fascinating because the birds—the red bits in the radar image—actually choose to go to the eye because it’s the calmest part of the storm. Here’s from Kenn Kaufman, Audubon’s field editor: The birds get into the end of the hurricane’s spiral and they move toward the eye of the hurricane.

They may not necessarily do that in any organized way; more likely they’re out there in all this wild wind and when they chance into the calm of the eye they may make an effort to stay there and travel with it rather than fighting the winds again. When the storm reaches land, some of them may start fighting the winds.

Others may go with it and travel with the eye until the hurricane dissipates. The majority of seabirds, if they are not too weakened from having flown for so long without food, will probably find their way back to shore quickly. They have great powers of navigation. President Obama, in a statement after being briefed on the storm, said: “I just want to emphasize to everybody that this is still a really dangerous hurricane.” 'The big concern at this point is storm surge,' he said, adding: Many of you will remember Hurricane Sandy (in 2012), where initially people thought this doesn't look as bad as we thought, and then suddenly you get a massive storm surge and a lot of people are severely affected. We're still on the front end of this hurricane, we're not on the backend. So we don't know how bad the damage could end up, we don't know how severe the storm surge could end up being. And we're not going to know for three, four, five days what the ultimate effects of this are.'
