For those of you who may have missed it, here's the video of our November 2020 presentation from Mike and Judy Florian.
Thank you, Mike and Judy!
Grosse Pointe Audubon will next meet on Jan. 24. Until then, have a great holiday season, think positive and test negative.
Because of the pandemic, Grosse Pointe Audubon cannot hold in-person meetings. But we can use technology to make sure all our members can still participate.
Our September speaker, Edward O'Malley, MD, told us how birds see and described the differences between bird vision and human vision.
Our October speaker was Nick Liadis, a research fellow at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, on how we can improve building design to help prevent bird deaths.
Join us for our next meeting on Nov. 16. That evening, Mike Florian will present a program on birding in Cuba.
Fall migration is underway across North America. Birds are already on the move from Florida as captured in this Tweet on the evening of Sept. 1.
I suspect you know the difference between the migrating birds and the rain/storms. (Yes, weather tends to move from east to west in Florida this time of year.)
Meteorological fall has begun w/ bird migration activity picking up in the #FLKeys. KBYX detects these birds as deviate echoes moving south, while showers move westward w/ atmospheric flow. Birds are seen day & night, but the nocturnal exodus (at the end) is most spectacular. pic.twitter.com/lwYumfb9Lv

Birds on radar? Yep, we see them. These rings are large groups of birds waking up at dawn and flying away in all directions. We call this radar signature “roost rings.” Pretty cool... pic.twitter.com/dhfPNOkPAf
