Sun activity , help please

Does anyone know if we had a very active sun last weekend , or the
arrival of a mass discharge say on Saturday. It would appear that a
large number of homing pigeons went astray on Saturday and I was
wondering if disturbances in the earths magnetic field could have been
the cause.... Thanks Jon V

Very probably :-(
There's a web site http://www.spaceweather.com/ which lets you look at
the "weather" in previous days and months, and there was apparently a
"strong geomagnetic storm" on the 24/25 July, with auroras seen over
much of the USA. Sunspot 652 has apparently been throwing stuff at us.

Quite likely in my opinion. I've believed for about 30 years that pigeons
"know" where magnetic north is.
