Migrating birds can detect changes in air pressure which occur with changes in
weather. I don't think Hurricane Frances had anything to do with the direction
your nighthawks were flying. According to the latest weather maps, the leading
edge of the storm clouds spawned by Frances are in eastern Florida. The
weather radar for south-central Tennessee and northern Alabama does show
several rainstorms, and more are forecast through tomorrow. This rainstorm
activity is not related to Frances, and may have caused the nighthawks to
reverse direction.
