Back by popular demand, tonight's speaker is Dr Andy Jones, Ornithology
Director at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History!

Most birders are aware that some of the most spectacular migration days are
related to weather events. But when a longtime birder boldly predicts one of
these events, what information are they using? This talk will cover the
overlap between ornithology and meteorology, particularly focusing on how to
understand the movement of high and low pressure fronts and their impact on
migrants. The most extreme interactions occur when hurricanes sidetrack
migrating birds, and Hurricane Sandy's impact on migration this past fall
will be discussed.

Andy's talk will be in two parts: one focusing on the relationship between
weather events and migration (including websites you will want to revisit),
and the second focusing on the latest published research on the biology of
migration. Technological advances have given us incredible peeks into the
lives of birds, including tracking of individual songbirds for months at a
time, and in some cases for multiple years.

Dr. Andrew W. Jones is the William A. and Nancy R. Klamm Endowed Chair of
Ornithology and curator and head of ornithology at the Cleveland Museum of
Natural History. For more information, visit the
