Josh Engel, “Understanding Bird Migration” Just in time for Spring Migration

Spring and fall are prime birding times in the Chicago area, thanks to the vast number of birds migrating through during those periods. But how does migration work? Josh will try to untangle some of the complexities of bird migration, discussing how birds migrate, how they know when and where to go, and giving some examples of the astounding migrations that some birds make on a twice-annual basis. He will also explain how eBird--whether you have an account or not—can help you better understand migration and to inform your own birding.
