4th Floor ForumWhen Worlds Collide: The Magnificence & Dangers of Bird Migration will explore some of the beautiful birds that travel from as far south as Central & South America during their spring migrations. We’ll look at some easy tools to help identify the birds as well as ways to participate in Community Science for Conservation. In addition, we will address the serious dangers that migrating birds face and some solutions.
