Wood-Warblers: The Rest of the Story

In a spectacular and unrivaled migratory tidal wave, over one billion
warblers temporarily colonize North America each year. These colorful
sprites winter in Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.
Thirty-eight species breed east of the Mississippi, and most of them are
intricately linked to the ecology of the vast eastern deciduous forest.
Native plants spawn food chains that are essential to the survival of
warblers and most other songbirds.

Jim presents an extremely informative and humorous program; one not to miss!
He is a naturalist working for the Ohio Division of Wildlife, specializing
in nongame wildlife diversity issues, especially birds. Prior to that, he
was a botanist with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Jim was the
2009 recipient of the Ludlow Griscom award, given annually by the American
Birding Association to individuals who have made significant regional
contributions to ornithology. He is author of Birds of Ohio (Lone Pine
2004); The Great Lakes Nature Guide (Lone Pine 2009); and Wild Ohio: The
Best of Our Natural Heritage (Kent State University Press 2009). The latter
won the 2010 Ohioana Book award. Jim writes a column, Nature, for the
Columbus Dispatch, and has authored or co-authored over 100 scientific and
popular articles in a variety of publications.
