Birds on the Move: The Art of Migration (Fall 2024)

Fall is here, and millions of bird species around the world have taken to the night skies to begin an annual trek over water and land, sometimes for days non-stop, to get from one place on the globe to another. But why?

Join natural science illustrator, and avid birder, Sandy McDermott during Massachusetts STEM week on October 22 and 23, 2024 from 4:00 p.m.- 6:00 p.m. for Whitehead Institute and BioNook's popular online workshop, Birds on the Move: The Art of Migration. The two-part series designed for middle and high school students will explore the ecological significance of bird migration and how the art of nature illustration and observation is used as a tool to relay scientific information. 

Registration is open HERE and will close on Thursday, October 17 or when capacity has been reached. Registration will be capped at 30 registrants and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
