The Wonders and Perils of Spring Bird Migration In-Person
What kinds of birds migrate through Connecticut? Where are they going? And how do they fly so far?
Come explore the amazing journeys that migratory birds make twice each year through Connecticut right during peak spring bird migration (April 1-May 31). This presentation will fill you with awe and wonder for the natural world, while you learn easy steps you can take at home to help protect migratory birds during their epic journeys through our backyards. This event is free & open to the public.
Meredith Barges is a bird-friendly building advocate and co-chair of Lights Out Connecticut. She helps people to appreciate the complex lives of birds, how birds interact with the built environment, and how our decisions about buildings, green spaces, and lighting affect them. Her favorite migratory bird is the Magnolia Warbler.
