When considering bird life, it's essential to understand their expansive migration patterns that span multiple countries, seasons, and habitats. Unfortunately, migrating birds face increasing challenges every year as breeding, stopover, and winter habitats are impacted by human development and climate change. Explore some of the local bird species that undertake particularly extraordinary migrations and how we can help preserve the variety of critical stopover habitats along their routes. Led by Patti Steinman, the Education Coordinator for Mass Audubon’s Connecticut River Valley Sanctuaries, based out of Arcadia in Easthampton and Northampton. She has worked at Mass Audubon for 30 years, developing and overseeing programs for adults, families, and children.
