“…Heavy rain may saturate the plumage, increase wing loading (often already high in migrants) and cause the loss of body heat. These stresses, probably coupled with disorientation, sometimes force migrants down where they may be killed by collision, drowning or chilling (Frazar 1881, Saunders 1907, Cottam 1929, Williams 1950, Woodford 1963, Kennedy 1970). Flying birds are also sometimes killed by hail (Hochbaum 1955, Roth 1976), or by electrocution in lightning storms (Glasrud 1976).…”

“…Still further, weather changes affected nightly unrest in the spring in much the same way that they are reputed to affect actual migratory flights (Bagg et al 1950;Williams 1950;Gunn and Crocker 1951;Imhof 1953;Devlin 1954), i.e. In fact, the first nights of unrest in the male whitethroats in both 1952 and 1953 occurred within a few days of the first notable influx of wild migrants in the Champaign area.…”

“…Furthermore the unrest appeared at a time of rapid fat deposition, weight gain, and waning molt, in short, at a time when the birds were in a physiological con-clition typical of that at which wild birds begin to migrate, as observed by Odum, Baumgartner and others. Still further, weather changes affected nightly unrest in the spring in much the same way that they are reputed to affect actual migratory flights (Bagg et al 1950;Williams 1950;Gunn and Crocker 1951;Imhof 1953;Devlin 1954), i.e. unrest was stimulated by warm fronts and high temperatures and inhibited by cold fronts and low temperatures.…”
