Upcoming Speaker Programs and Club Meetings
In May your goal is simple: see as many migratory birds as possible. There is a seemingly unlimited selection of hotspots, yet you can only choose one hotspot per morning. In order to maximize encounters with migrants, it is critical to understand the physical and biological forces that lead to the spatial and temporal distributions of migrants. In this talk, we will explore the patterns and underlying mechanisms of migratory birds in order to help you make important decisions for birding during spring and fall migration seasons.
Sean Williams is a lecturer at Cuyahoga Community College. He grew up in South Boston, Massachusetts, where his childhood passion for observing birds led to a PhD from Michigan State University on antbird flocking behavior in Peru. At Tri-C, he teaches introductory biology for majors and non-majors, as well as ornithology. His research interests are mechanisms of migration, sources of individual variation, and patterns of vagrancy. In the field, Sean enjoys searching for poorly known phenomena, taxa, and aberrant individuals.
