Our speaker, Rebecca Heisman, became fascinated with the varied and creative techniques that have been used to investigate bird migration, and has recently published her first book, Flight Paths: How a Passionate and Quirky Group of Pioneering Scientists Solved the Mystery of Bird Migration. In her talk for WOS, Rebecca, who lives in Walla Walla, will share intriguing stories from the history of bird migration research and discuss why understanding migration is so crucial for bird conservation.
