VIRTUAL: Understanding Bird Migration with Mass Audubon

Friday, October 202:00—3:00 PMOnlineTewksbury Public Library300 Chandler Street, Tewksbury, MA, 01876

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.**

Bird migration is one of nature's most amazing spectacles, and for good reason. A little more than 900 species of birds breed in North America and studies show nearly 40% are migratory. Researchers are using ground-breaking new technologies, from highly miniaturized transmitters to the Doppler weather radar network, to better understand migration. With this information, we can better conserve species which need specific breeding, wintering, and migratory stopover spaces. Discover the many ways birds migrate, why ornithologists think they migrate, and the extraordinary ways they've evolved for a life of almost constant motion. Led by Scott Santino, who is Mass Audubon's Statewide Trips, Travel and Certificate Programs Manager. He has been leading nature education programs for Mass Audubon since 1999. Scott is the coordinator and a faculty member of the Mass Audubon Birder’s Certificate Program, a college level ornithology course.
