Audubon Society of Northern Virginia and the Virginia Society of Ornithology are proud to present a talk with New York Times Bestselling Author, Scott Weidensaul! His recent book, “A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds," has captivated birders and non-birders alike with stories of astounding discoveries about the navigational and physiological feats that enable migratory birds to cross immense oceans or fly above the highest mountains, go weeks without sleep or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch. For this lecture,  Scott Weidensaul takes you around the globe -- with researchers in the lab probing the limits of what migrating birds can do, to the shores of the Yellow Sea in China, the remote mountains of northeastern India where tribal villages saved the greatest gathering of falcons on the planet, and the Mediterranean, where activists and police are battling bird poachers -- to learn how people are fighting to understand and save the world's great bird migrations.
