[Maine-birds] Free Lecture: Dr. Brad Winn on shorebird migration, Portland, 2/26

Hi all,

I just wanted to take a moment to invite everyone to our next "Birds on Tap!" speaker series at Rising Tide Brewing in Portland. On Tuesday the 26th, join us as we welcome Dr. Brad Winn, the Director of Shorebird Habitat Management for the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences for a presentation entitled "Understanding shorebird migrations to help direct conservation action."

This talk will discuss how rapidly evolving tracking (satellite, geo-locator, etc) technology is helping us understand the habitat needs of individual long-distance migrant shorebirds. The conservation community is gaining new insight into hemispheric sites of importance, and uncovering regional threats for shorebirds, leading to the geographic prioritization of conservation activity. 


Hope to see you there,
Derek
