I've heard of migratory birds being seen *above* clouds,
but I've never heard of them being seen *in* clouds.
Could that be simply because they're hard to see in IMC?
I'm more comfortable hoping they just don't fly there.
I've noticed daytime birds are extremely uncomfortable flying at night.

Only GOD knows for sure. The FAA sets standards and
procedures for human pilots.

| I just flew my 250NM IFR x-ctry. The last leg was IMC,
bouncing along at

clouds?

| There are many birds at my home airport (KFIT). I got
enough stuff to

then.

| So what about it? Are birds IFR equipped? :^)
