Ventura Audubon Society October Lecture Program:
Join us for our October program and learn about bird migration, one of the most amazing feats that birds perform. It is a journey made on the very edge of life and death. Humanity has been fascinated by the pattern of appearing and disappearing birds for millennia. Understanding migration is a key step in realizing the challenges and threats that birds deal with on a regular basis. We will look at some of the myths that have surrounded migration through the ages and some that persist even today. We will highlight some of the many obstacles migrating birds face and the incredible ways that they have evolved to deal with them. Finally, we will look at current conservation issues that pertain to migration, and at current conservation efforts like:
- Cornell’s Seven Simple Actions to Bring Birds Back
- Wild Birds Unlimited's "Save The Songbirds"
- Other local Audubon initiatives
We will also discuss how wildfires and hurricanes affect birds that are migrating.
