Every Bird Counts: Community Science

  • This event has passed.

Millions of observations made by community scientists in the past few years have greatly expanded our understanding of bird migration. This class provides a more detailed picture than ever before about where and when birds migrate and the geographic and atmospheric conditions that influence their flights. Join the community science brigade and learn how to contribute to this research that supports global conservation efforts for birds that live in and travel along the eastern seaboard.

This program takes place in-person (at Mt. Cuba Center) Saturday, April 22, 2023
