Bird Migration and Vagrancy - Part 1: How Birds Orient and Navigate

Bird migration is a phenomenon as mysterious as it is fascinating. How can a tiny bird, born only a few weeks before and without guidance, fly thousands of miles to a new location and arrive accurately?

In this presentation, PRAS Vice President & Program Coordinator, Darrell Lawson will explore this question and see what the latest science has to offer. This will be the first part of a two-presentation series on bird migration and vagrancy.

The program begins at 7 pm and is free and open to the public. It takes place in the conference room at Northern Lights Recreation, 8865 Harbor Petoskey Rd. (M-119), Harbor Springs.

PRAS is a chapter of Michigan Audubon and has members from Charlevoix and Emmet Counties.
