Stopover ecology and conservation of migratory land birds in the Eastern United States Thursday, February 20, 7 p.m.
Migratory land birds are experiencing dramatic population declines in North America, but little is known about the important habitats they use as stopover sites during migration. Freda’s research leverages the power of weather radar to monitor the continental-scale movement pattern of migratory land birds, identify critical stopover hotspots and key habitats birds use during migration, and assess how land birds confront migration barriers lacking stopover sites.
