We’ve all heard amazing facts about bird migration—the long distances that
birds travel, the ways that they navigate, etc. But did you ever wonder how
we figured all of this out? While working for the American Ornithological
Society, *Rebecca Heisman* became fascinated with the varied and creative
techniques that scientists have used to study bird migration, and this
eventually became the basis for her book "Flight Paths: How a Passionate
and Quirky Group of Pioneering Scientists Solved the Mystery of Bird
Migration." In her talk, she’ll share some surprising stories from the
history of bird migration research and discuss why understanding migration
is so crucial for bird conservation.
*Rebecca Heisman* is an award-winning science writer who lives in Walla
Walla, Washington, and has worked with organizations including the Audubon
Society, the American Bird Conservancy, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and
the American Ornithological Society. Flight Paths is her first book.
