  • Lanphear LIVE! Presents: Sam Miller, Wings in the Dark: The Secret Nightlife of Migrating Birds

    The Chaplin B. Barnes Reading Room 1 Bay Street, Westerly, RI, United States
    Special Events & Programs

    Each spring and fall, tens to hundreds of thousands of birds move across the Napatree Point Conservation Area under the cover of darkness, passing overhead in one of nature's most extraordinary yet largely invisible phenomena. This presentation invites you into an evening exploration of bird migration, with a special focus on the hidden world of nocturnal songbird migration along the Rhode Island coast.  Join Sam Miller, non-game bird wildlife biologist as he describes the remarkable strategies birds use to travel between breeding, stopover, and wintering habitats across vast geographic scales, and the challenges they face along the way. Deepen your appreciation for this hidden natural phenomenon, and learn practical conservation strategies, many of which you can practice to protect birds during one of nature’s most remarkable journeys.
