How did that bird get here? Meteorological musings on migration - Bryan Guarente, October 2021

How does the wind influence 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. In this talk, we 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. Bryan presented this talk to Boulder County (CO) Audubon Society, 10/26/21. You can play along with this video!
