How Did That Bird Get Here? Meteorological Musings on Migration

Join Boulder County Audubon Society and meteorologist Bryan Guarente this Tuesday, October 26, 2021 to learn about how the wind influences bird migration. You've found or chased vagrant, spring migrants in your many birding days on this planet. Those birds got here on the power of their own wings, fat reserves, hormones, and no doubt with the help of the wind. The relationship birds have with the wind is awe-inspiring. The physiological evolution from this relationship helps birds soar effortlessly while covering significant distances or float just above the water surface. Together with Bryan Guarente, let's take a look at some of those vagrant migrants and see how the weather tells us their intriguing migration story. We'll explore some of the more intriguing migrants over the past year and show you the wind patterns that likely brought them.

Bryan Guarente is a meteorologist and instructional designer who grew up birding with his father in southeast Pennsylvania. Bryan now works at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, training meteorologists on all things forecasting both nationally and internationally. He is excited to extend his work to help the birding community understand the relationship between weather and bird migration. Visit our website to learn more!
