DISCOVER-E: Understanding & Enjoying Fall Migration with Dr. Andy Jones

For some 5 billion individual birds, a trip to Central or South America from North America is an essential and stunning annual accomplishment. Why do birds undertake this grueling trip? How do they find their way to wintering grounds they have never seen before? Dr. Jones will explain how ornithologists study the phenomenon of migration, and how you can enjoy the spectacle in person. The Museum is a key partner in the Lights Out Cleveland effort, which monitors bird–building collisions during migration. Learn about the results of that effort, including insights gleaned from rehabilitating birds and a new discovery made by studying collision patterns across the city.
