Birds are among our planet’s most ubiquitous and captivating windows into the natural world. Stories abound about migratory birds’ extraordinary feats of distance and endurance, as well as global-scale navigational precision that defies imagination. Today, however, we are witnessing dramatic changes in the numbers and annual cycles of migratory birds. Join us for a virtual presentation by world-renowned ornithologist John W. Fitzpatrick and author/columnist Scott Weidensaul as they examine the ways in which bird populations represent sensitive natural barometers of environmental health and how some of our most iconic species are experiencing alarming declines. You will also discover how birds are extremely resilient, demonstrating time and again their ability to successfully bounce back after we heed their signals and adjust how we treat our precious planet.
