Bird migration isn't just a continental phenomenon—it's also super-local, happening all around you, and now's the time to enjoy the spectacle! Some of these new faces are just passing through, while others will be here all summer.
We spoke with Cornell Lab experts Adriaan Dokter and Ileana Betancourt during a live broadcast to learn a little about the basics of bird migration and what these new arrivals are up to. After covering the basics of bird migration, we discussed how the Cornell Lab's BirdCast Project can help you understand when birds are migrating around you, and our conversation ended by covering what you can do to help birds wherever you are.
