Climate Change and Its Impact on Bird Migration Lecture featuring Scott Weidendsaul

The Land Alliance hosted a special presentation featuring Scott Weidensaul – worldrenowned lecturer, bird author and photographer on Friday, October 7, 2016 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at The Hoffman Center Nature Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary in East Norwich. Weidensaul (pronounced “Why-densaul”) discussed Climate Change and Its Impact on Bird Migration.

Scott Weidensaul is a skilled presenter and one of the most sought-after speakers in the country on conservation and nature. He is the author of more than two dozen books on natural history, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist Living on the Wind: Across the Hemisphere with Bird Migration and Return to Wild America: A Yearlong Search for the Continent’s Natural Soul. His latest book, published in 2015, is the Petersen Reference Guide to Owls of North America and the Caribbean. Weidensaul is a contributing editor for Audubon magazine and coordinates ornithological programs for Audubon’s historic Hog Island Camp on the coast of Maine.

In addition to writing about wildlife, Weidensaul is an active field researcher whose work focuses on bird migration. He has lived almost all of his life among the long ridges and endless valleys of eastern Pennsylvania, in the heart of the central Appalachians, a landscape that has defined much of his work and where he studies the migration of hawks, owls and hummingbirds. Weidensaul co-directs Project Owlnet, a cooperative network for more than 125 owl-banding sites across North America, and Project SNOWstorm, which tracks the movements of snowy owls.
