PROGRAM - Season on the Wind: Inside the World of Spring Migration

This event will be presented digitally via Zoom.

Presenters - Kim and Kenn Kaufman – Black Swamp Bird Observatory
Every spring, billions of birds sweep north, driven by instinct to return to their breeding grounds. This vast parade often goes unnoticed—except in a few places where these small travelers concentrate in big numbers. One such place is along the Lake Erie shoreline just east of Toledo, Ohio. There the peak of spring migration is so spectacular that it attracts bird watchers from around the globe, culminating in one of the biggest bird festivals anywhere. In this program based on his new book, Ohio naturalist, author, and artist, Kenn Kaufman, will describe the science and magic of spring bird migration through this region. His wife Kimberly will also join us with a brief update on the bird research, education, and conservation work at Black Swamp Bird Observatory.
