Join Florida Master Naturalist Kate Borduas to unlock the mysteries behind some of the greatest journeys on earth!

For most of history people observed that birds disappeared in cold weather - but no one knew where they went or why, and some amazing theories were created about what birds get up to while out of sight. Modern ornithologists have now learned a great deal about the “How and Why” of migration and the truth is every bit as amazing as those earlier fictions.

For countless millennia birds have successfully employed multiple tools to navigate their way over vast stretches of land and sea. But sadly, the recent advances in technology together with the effects of climate disruption have interfered with these activities with devastating results.
