The Zoom talk will be at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, October 12^th at Thomas Auditorium, Preble Hall, UMF—173 High Street, Farmington. There will be no ability to access this talk at the time of presentation except at the auditorium. Recordings of the talk will be available at https://western.maineaudubon.org/videos/ 2-3 weeks after the event.

Are you a snowbird? Do you head south during the winter in search of sunny, warm weather with plentiful fresh local fruits and vegetables? Just like human snowbirds, many of “our” birds head south for the winter as well. Come join Dr. Stockwell to learn about the travels and winter homes of some our breeding birds. As a bonus, you will also learn about the migratory pathways of several bats and insects, and learn about the true snowbirds—those that visit us each winter from the Canadian taiga and tundra.
