Title: The Fascinating Phenomenon of Songbird Migration: Lessons Learned from a Long-term Banding Station on Appledore Island, Maine
Description: Bird migration is among the most noticeable, intriguing, and exciting phenomena in the North American annual cycle of nature. We anticipate the arrival of birds each spring and fall and enjoy different assemblages of birds in the summer and winter. However, there are many challenges to studying bird migration. Sara Morris has been studying songbird migration on Appledore Island since 1990 and will share some observations and insights resulting from the long-term banding station at the Shoals Marine Lab.
