An Urban Forest for the Birds
A fact that has stuck with me from the research for the Los Angeles County Breeding Bird Atlas in the 1990s is that there was not a single neighborhood in the county that did not have at least ten breeding bird species. Residents can enjoy birds wherever they live. But beyond that minimum, the number of birds that are found in developed neighborhoods across the region depends on the number of trees, their size, species, and diversity, and associated landscaping.

Wed., March 8, 2023 — Monthly Program Presentation
Shorebirds are the champions of migration: their flights span hemispheres and defy our preconceived notions about what is possible. The shorebirds of the Pacific Flyway exhibit the most extreme of these migrations, but also a wide variety of other migratory strategies. This talk will highlight how shorebirds of the Pacific Flyway are altering their migrations and responding to global change, as well as what we can do to help them along the way.
Dr. Nathan Senner is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Conservation at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Following his undergraduate studies at Carleton College, he was awarded a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship to follow Hudsonian Godwits on their epic migrations. He then received his PhD from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at Cornell University. Now, his research group continues to follow godwits, but has also branched out to study long-distance migratory shorebirds wherever they occur.
The meeting will be presented online at: https://bluejeans.com/702950886/5412
