Back in-person for the first time this year! Come visit us at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center for this special event.
We are indoors with a cap of 60 people. They will set up seats so you don't have to worry about bringing your own. Masks are required! Use the code "getnerdy" if you want to zero out the suggested $5 donation and add your own amount.
Since he was 13 years old, this question has captivated Dr. Chris Tonra. Chris has spent years studying migratory birds; their behavior, ecology, and conservation. His early career focused on the physiology of migratory birds, and how they balance the demands of their amazing journeys with the challenges of the breeding season. Since joining the faculty in the School of Environment and Natural Resources at OSU he has been exploring all aspects of migratory bird annual cycles, including here in Ohio.
Chris will be sharing some of the amazing stories of migratory birds. He will explain why migration arose, how birds navigate across the planet, and how they find the energy to do so. Chris will also share some of his research on species that spend time here in Ohio.
