Mass Audubon Birders Meeting
Diana F.
On Sunday, April 21, Mass Audubon will host its 31st Annual Birders Meeting from 8:00am to 4:30pm at the Hogan Campus Center at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester.
This year’s theme – The Conservation of Migration – will focus on migratory birds that travel short and long distances between their breeding and wintering areas, while also stopping in between. These journeys do not come without risks. North American migratory birds have been declining for decades and are in dire need of conservation. The 2024 Birders Meeting will explore the wonders of bird migration, conservation risks, conservation needs, and the history of how we understand migration.
An impressive lineup of speakers will include John Rappole of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, Daniel Klem of Muhlenberg University, Freda Guo of Princeton University, and author Rebecca Heisman. We are happy to announce the participation of Mass Audubon’s Museum of American Bird Art as well.
Registration is now live and can be found at:
