SUMMARY:LWAS October Presentation – “Journey of the Skyward Nomads: Unveiling the Mysteries of Bird Migration across the Great Lakes Region”
DESCRIPTION:“Journey of the Skyward Nomads: Unveiling the Mysteries of Bird Migration\nacross the Great Lakes Region”\nThe topic of the Laughing Whitefish Audubon Society’s next monthly meeting will be “Journey of the Skyward Nomads: Unveiling the Mysteries of Bird Migration across the Great Lakes Region”” presented by Jared Wolfe, assistant professor at Michigan Technological University. The program will be held on Wednesday, October 18, 2023, at 7 PM at the Peter White Library, George Shiras Room (located on the 3rd Floor).\nJared Wolfe will delve into the ancient beliefs that surrounded bird migrations and witness the unveiling of revolutionary insights thru cutting-edge technologies. With a special focus on songbirds navigating the Great Lakes Region, he will uncover the incredible adaptations migratory birds use to overcome immense challenges as they traverse vast distances between hemispheres. We will also explore how rapid environmental change has resulted in new threats, and what we can do to reduce the danger songbirds face during their long-distance movements. Join us in exploring the wonder of bird migration, where age-old fascination meets modern understanding, illuminating the extraordinary lives of these captivating creatures.\nJared Wolfe is a wildlife ecologist and an assistant professor at Michigan Technological University.
