Program Description
Event Details
For millennia, people have wondered at the mystery of bird migration. Why are they migrating, and how do they know how to get there? How far can they migrate nonstop? Did you know some birds migrate by walking? By swimming? These little world travelers still amaze us in their annual migrations, but today we understand a lot more about how they do it (but not everything!). Join us for this fascinating exploration into bird behavior, and be entertained by the marvels of bird migration. This San Diego Oasis presentation is free to attend thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Mission Hills-Hillcrest Branch Library.
