Extreme weather, including heat waves, droughts, and high rainfall, is becoming more common and affecting a diversity of species and taxa. Jeremy Cohen, postdoctoral fellow in Forest and Wildlife Ecology at UW-Madison, used data from eBird, a global citizen science initiative, and NASA satellite weather data to examine how 109 bird species (ranging in migration distance, diet, body size, habitat preference and commonness) responded to extreme heat, drought and rainfall over weeks, months, and seasons across the eastern US and Canada.

For our next Evenings with Audubon (online) event, we’re happy to host Jeremy!

Tune in for a great presentation by Jeremy on how the work was done and what it means for the birds in our modern world. The presentation will be held on Facebook Live, which you can watch even if you don’t have a Facebook account. To tune in live, visit Madison Audubon’s Facebook page on Tuesday, October 6, 7:00pm CT and wait for the live stream to begin.

Can’t attend live? No worries, we’ll post the links to the recording here afterwards.
