Andrew Farnsworth- Cornell Lab What’s new in bird migration? A primer of today’s knowledge

One of the most fun and exciting aspects of directing and participating in the BirdCast project over the last 25 years has been reading and responding to the enormous array of questions posed by careful observers, curious bystanders, and attentive experts. In this evening’s discussion, we will cover everything from what’s new in the world of bird migration, migration monitoring, and more broadly in the ways we learn and develop both. We will cover birding, science, technology, and try to have as much fun and novel insight as possible!

Andrew Farnsworth is a Visiting Scientist in the Center for Avian Population Studies at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Andrew began birding at age 5 and quickly developed his long-standing fascinations with bird migration.  He and his collaborators employ science to educate and to engage audiences in conservation actions, notably with respect to reducing light pollution impacts on nocturnally migrating birds.  He lives in New York, NY with his wife Patricia and two daughters Aja and Elle.

The meeting is open to the public and is held at the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center located at N7725 Highway 28, Horicon, WI. You can also join us via Zoom.
