Bill Volkert, Naturalist
Join us in learning about bird migration as part of our Bird City Mount Horeb celebrations!
In partnership with Village of Mount Horeb Sustainability Committee.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the lives of birds is their ability to migrate thousands of miles as they follow the changing seasons. This presentation will explore the annual migration of birds, their seasonal phenology, and explore recent studies that are revealing more information and instilling greater wonder over the phenomenon of bird migration.
