MON MAY 8   Bird Migration

“William Cochran and his coworkers captured a migrating Gray-cheeked Thrush
in central Illinois...and attached a tiny radio transmitter.... At dark the
thrush took off...,followed by the ornithologists in a small plane. A severe
thunderstorm and a shortage of fuel forced their plane down...but the thrush
flew on.  After refueling, the Cochran group took off again and remarkably,
relocated the thrush ...by dead reckoning.  The thrush landed...in Wisconsin
after flying 650 kilometers...all night–without refueling.” Alicia Craig’s
program will explore the wonder of bird migration via video and map
simulation for a better understanding how birds get from winter ranges to
their breeding territories and back again in a relentless and daunting
annual cycle.
