Program Title: The Mystery of Migration by Diana Churchill
For thousands of years, birds have been leaving comfortable winter homes in the New World tropics to make an arduous journey to the Northern Hemisphere in order to find mates, settle down and raise families. This program will explore and attempt to answer some of the questions surrounding migration, such as: Who migrates? Why? When? How do they find their way? Which species typically migrate through the coastal Low Country? Which species migrate in and stay for the summer? Who migrates at night? Who migrates during the day? How is fall migration different from spring migration?
