Kitsap Audubon Society's February Virtual General Meeting - Erin Posthumus

Phenology is the study of the seasons - when plants leaf out and bloom, birds migrate, and insects emerge. As temperatures warm and precipitation patterns change, phenology of many species is changing, and not always at the same rate. Migratory birds in particular face mismatches in timing between breeding periods and food resources, with cascading impacts on their ecosystems. In this presentation we will look at what we know about the challenges birds are facing, how they are coping, and how you can help document the changes in phenology happening around us by contributing to Nature’s Notebook. Erin is an Outreach Coordinator & Liaison to the USFWS for the USA National Phenology Network -
