Migrating visitors arrive in southeast Missouri

SIKESTON, MO (KFVS) - Sikeston has had a lot of migrating birds in the past couple weeks. 

Most are heading from the south back to their northern summer homes. 

This Grosbeak looks like it is the first time he has seen a Cardinal and giving him a good lookover. 

The Baltimore Orioles have also been plentiful.  They came in for about a week, eating furiously, and then disappeared on their way. 

Along with a Yellow Warbler and our regular Cardinals, Blue Jays, Doves, Sparrows and Red Headed Woodpeckers, it has been a colorful couple of weeks.

Active deer can make driving dangerous

(KFVS) - The Missouri State Highway Patrol is warning drivers to be more cautious this time of year for deer on the roadways.

Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, says deer are more active this time of year and drivers should be especially careful during evening and early dawn hours.

Deer behavior changes due to mating season, which may cause an increase in roadway crossings. Hunting and crop harvesting may result in these animals being in places that aren't usual for them.

Last year, drivers in Missouri experienced 3,563 wrecks involving deer. Because of those crashes, four people were killed and 367 were injured. 26.7 percent of the crashes involving deer happened in urban areas.
