A Season on the Wind: Inside the World of Spring Migration
ECOC meeting 7:30–7:45 pm
Every spring and fall, a journey of thousands of miles begins, as migrating birds find their way between breeding and overwintering grounds. Renowned naturalist and author Kenn Kaufman brings this remarkable phenomenon to life in his talk, based on his new book A Season on the Wind. Discover the science and magic of bird migration, including how local observations can reveal global patterns, and what we can do to avoid harming these vulnerable winged migrants. A book signing for A Season on the Wind: Inside the World of Spring Migration follows the program. This event is made possible by a generous donation from The Echo Charitable Foundation. Cosponsored by PEM and Mass Audubon.
Morse Auditorium, Peabody Essex Museum. Free and open to the public.
