Missing VSO field trips? We've got a special treat for you until we can safely resume these gatherings.
Dr. Jerry Via, one of our fabulous field trip leaders, will bring the birds to us virtually Friday evening, February 26, at 7:30 pm with a special Zoom presentation.
This has been an interesting year with the migration of so many winter finches.
What are the influences which result in the irruptions of finches and other species?
Some species such as Rufous Hummingbirds seem to be off course, but are they lost? What does new monitoring technology teach us about some of the mysteries of migration, such as trans-oceanic migrants?
What factors might influence the migration of seabirds and waterfowl for our usual annual Outer Banks trip in February?
The input of birders with eBird and Christmas Bird Counts provides a wonderful look at what our birds are telling us about migration and climate change.
