Calling All Bird Brains: Become a frequent flyer!
In this fall edition of Saturday Science Sparks, we celebrate Migratory Bird Day and the millions of songbirds heading South. Meet members of UNC-Chapel Hill’s Sockman Lab, who will share stories from their summer fieldwork in the Rockies and premiere a new exhibit: Migration Station-Chasing the Light. The UNC Avian Society and the New Hope Bird Alliance will host hands-on activities for all ages and ways for you to become a community ornithologist!
