February 27, 2024 – Wingtips at our Fingertips with Stuart Mackenzie @ 7:00 p.m., Zoom Meeting

 Stuart Mackenzie will be exploring the world of migration of winged animals, birds, bats and insects by researchers using new and innovative technological tools. In his talk titled “Wingtips at Our Fingertips”, Mr. Mackenzie will take us from the Arctic to the edge of the Antarctic using the recent research tools with a special focus on the Motus Wildlife Tracking System, a collaborative automated radio telemetry system, that allows scientists to follow winged animals throughout their life cycle as they travel around the globe.

 Mr. Mackenzie has been interested in birds from a very young age. As an adult, he has become an international figure in ornithology and has conducted a wide variety of research, monitoring, and training projects on migratory animals throughout the Western Hemisphere. He is a polished and entertaining speaker and will be bringing images of migration in areas, until recently, almost totally hidden from sight.

 All members of North Durham Nature will be sent a link to this Zoom presentation. For membership details please go to www.northdurhamnature.com. As February melts away, this presentation will remind us that spring is not far off!
