The presentation will be “New Discoveries in Songbird Migration” by Prof. Bridget Stutchbury. Registration link is on the home page of www.qcbirdclub.org <http://www.qcbirdclub.org/> Or use this link https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAlde6pqjkpHNKU2cH2U7p64elBqQxmZ5AR <https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAlde6pqjkpHNKU2cH2U7p64elBqQxmZ5AR> Each fall, billions of songbirds leave Canada on an epic journey to their far-away wintering grounds in Central and South America where many live in tropical forests shared by toucans, howler monkeys, and jaguars. Dozens of species have experienced serious, long-term population declines that are driven in part by the threats that these birds face on migration and while in the tropics. But only recently has it been possible to track the migration of individual songbirds over part, or all, of their migration journey. Bridget Stutchbury talks about her research on uncovering the mysteries of songbird migration behaviour, and what this tells about the threats they face during their travels. Bridget Stutchbury is a Distinguished Research Professor of Biology at York University in Toronto, Ontario, where she is in charge of the Stutchbury Lab of Behavioural and Conservation Ecology. See her website http://www.yorku.ca/bstutch <http://www.yorku.ca/bstutch> . She is the author of the books Silence of the Songbirds and The Bird Detective and is featured in the movie The Messenger. Hope to “see" you then.
