Saturday 7:30-8:30 pm OIT Auditorium.
At any moment of every day, migratory birds fill the skies of the western hemisphere, journeying from the High Arctic to Tierra del Fuego, across the Atlantic and Pacific, moving by day and night. Join naturalist and author Scott Weidensaul on an exploration of how and why birds migrate, and the conservation challenges that face them, based on his book, "Living on the Wind: Across the Hemisphere with Migratory Birds." The program ranges from the doorstep of the Aleutians in Alaska, and the frozen edge of Hudson Bay in Canada, through the rainforests of Central and South America, to the grassy pampas of Argentina, and is filled with the drama and sweep of this remarkable phenomenon.
Fee: $10 (does not include the keynote banquet)
