Next Thursday: The Bird Genoscape Project with Erica Robertson
Audrey Hicks
Hello all,
We’re excited to invite you to join Denver Audubon at Belmar Library next Thursday, February 26 for an evening with Erica Robertson on The Bird Genoscape Project — a groundbreaking effort that is transforming how we understand bird migration.
This fascinating project uses genetic information from the tips of bird feathers to create “genoscapes” — detailed maps that connect bird populations across their entire annual cycle. In other words, scientists can now trace where birds breed, migrate, and winter using nothing more than a couple of feathers. Erica will share what has been learned so far, where the project is going, and how it connects to her work with Bank Swallows.
Doors open at 6:00 pm with the presentation beginning shortly after. Register here to jon us — we’d love to see you there!
Thanks,
Audrey Hicks
Conservation and Research Manager
