Schoodic Series Lecture: Living on the Wind - The Miracle of Migration with Scott Weidensaul
Friday, June 14 @ 7 – 8:30 pmSince the dawn of human imagination, we have been spellbound by the migration of birds, in which even the smallest species traverse immensities of space the way we cross the street. New research continually expands our understand of where birds travel, and their migratory feats. But while the populations of many migratory birds are in drastic decline, there are many things we can do to save them.
Naturalist and author Scott Weidensaul explores the wonder and mechanics of migration, and the simple, effective ways we can preserve them during his illustrated presentation at Moore Auditorium on the SERC campus.
Scott Weidensaul is the author of more than two dozen books on natural history, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist Living on the Wind , about bird migration, and Return to Wild America: A Yearlong Search for the Continent's Natural Soul. He lives in the mountains of eastern Pennsylvania, where he studies the migration of hawks, owls and hummingbirds.
The lecture is free and open to the public.
You are invited to meet and mingle with the speaker at a dessert reception following his presentation.
As a special friend of SERC Institute you are invited to meet Scott Weidensaul after his lecture at a special dessert reception. You can also elect to spend the night at SERC and enjoy breakfast the next morning at a cost of $70/person or $100/couple*.
Early morning birding is especially rewarding on the SERC campus or the rocky coast. Bring your binoculars! For more information about this event or to make reservations, please call 207-288-1310 or email Seth Benz. *Dixon Schoodic Scholars receive free lodging.
