The Magic of Migration
More than one-third of the world's birds migrate and it is why we see and hear different birds in Minnesota at different times of the year. It is truly mystifying how birds weighing in comparison to just six paperclips can make two trips a year between the tropics and Minnesota – and maybe even more - so why would they risk so much to do this? Learn some of the strategies birds use, how they navigate at night and what perils they encounter along these epic journeys using some case studies of Minnesota birds. Leave with some rich resources to help accompany your own journey of discovery and learning so you can continue exploration far beyond the classroom.
