Following the Phalaropes kicks off Audubon season
September 27, 2023 @ 7:30 am PDT
The Wilson’s Phalarope is a tiny shorebird that travels more than 5,000 miles each year between breeding grounds in North America and wintering grounds in South America. They depend on saline lakes along the way because the simple but productive ecosystems provide fuel for their epic journeys.
Ms. Livingston will talk about the natural history of the Wilson’s Phalarope and her journey following them from from Mono Lake, a major phalarope migration staging area, to Laguna Mar Chiquita in Argentina, where some 60% of the Wilson Phalarope population winters.
The Santa Barbara Audubon Society presents monthly programs open to the public the fourth Wednesday of the month. For more information go to: https://santabarbaraaudubon.org/programs/.
