Families are invited to watch the Flyways film at the library in the first of a series of weekend events that introduce Citizen Science bird watching and it's importance. Crafts for kids, drinks and snacks will be provided.
Shorebirds fly thousands of miles each year along ancient and largely unknown migratory routes called Flyways. More than 200 species, such as Far Eastern Curlews, Lesser Yellowlegs,
Red Knots and Hudsonian Godwits, travel from feeding grounds in the southern hemisphere to breeding grounds in the Arctic and back again, flying up to nine days non-stop without food or
water.
Follow a conservation movement of bird-loving experts and citizen scientists as they mobilize to the challenge to understanding and saving shorebirds in the movie Flyways.
