Apart from gaining insight on where your favorite neotropical migrants may be spending their time, why learn about bird migration? Knowing where birds are and when can inform important conservation decisions, such as placement of wind turbines and reducing building lights on specific high-migration nights to prevent the deaths of millions of birds. Accurate migration models also allow researchers to understand behavioral aspects of migration, how migration timing and pathways respond to changing climate, and whether linkages exist between variation in migration timing and subsequent changes in population size. Our July Bird Club meeting will feature a presentation by Nick Newberry, “Tracking Bird Migration from Home: A Dive into the Vast World of Online Bird Migration Resources.” Nick is an environmental scientist and a 2017 William and Mary graduate. His experience with the Alaska Department of Fish & Game studying the migration of Olive-sided Flycatchers introduced him to the fascinating world of migration tracking. Nick will introduce us to websites for tracking individual bird species and to the technologies that make this possible. He’ll even tell us what to expect in the future based on an exciting new system that uses the International Space Station!
