Film Screening of "Flyways: The untold story of Migratory Shorebirds" and SciStarter/Citizen Science Programs at the Library In-Person
Shorebirds fly thousands of miles each year along ancient and largely unknown migratory routes called Flyways. More than 200 species travel from feeding grounds in the southern hemisphere to breeding grounds in the Arctic and back again, flying up to nine days non-stop without food or water.
But their populations are crashing amidst climate change and urban development. “Flyways”, a new documentary, invites you to follow a conservation movement of bird-loving experts and citizen scientists as they mobilize to the challenge of understanding and saving shorebirds.
After you watch “Flyways”, get inspired to participate in the citizen science projects available through SciStarters in the library! We invite individual bird enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels to get involved.
Registration is suggested. Registration will close 2 hours prior to the scheduled start time of the event. Walk-ins are welcome!
