A World of Wings: Migratory Birds on a Changing Planet
Keynote speaker:
Scott Weidensaul, author, field researcher, and Pulitzer Prize finalist
Scott Weidensaul’s talk will be based on his forthcoming book A World on the Wing – The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds. The author and researcher will take us around the globe:
- with researchers in the lab probing the limits of what migrating birds can do
- to the shores of the Yellow Sea in China,
- to the remote mountains of northeastern India where tribal villages saved the greatest gathering of falcons on the planet
- to the Mediterranean, where activists and police battle bird poachers
— to learn how people are fighting to understand and save the world’s great bird migrations.
Scott Weidensaul is the author of nearly 30 books on natural history, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist Living on the Wind, Return to Wild America and The First Frontier. Weidensaul is a contributing editor for
Audubon, a columnist for Bird Watcher’s Digest and writes for a variety of other publications, including Living Bird. He is also an active field researcher, studying saw-whet owl migration for more than two decades, as well as winter hummingbirds, bird migration in Alaska, and the winter movements of snowy owls through Project SNOWstorm, which he co-founded.
