Recreational SportMigration Mysteries: The History of Bird Migration Monitoring
Imagine living before modern science and noticing that the birds filling your summer forest have vanished.
Where did they go? What would you think? And how would you solve the mystery of bird migration? Join us and unravel the phenomenon that is bird migration monitoring, history of this field of study, and the importance of understanding the movement patterns of our feathered friends.
The Winter Birding Series is hosted by TRCA’s Bander-in-Charge and ornithologist, Shane Abernethy. Shane has eight years of ornithological experience and four years of banding at the Tommy Thompson Park Bird Research Station. He also produces the popular Feathered Friday series via TRCA Instagram.
This is a seated talk, taking place indoors at the Tommy Thompson Park Nature Centre.
