Shining a light on nighttime bird migration and the effects of urban centers
Dr. Amy Collins
Each year, billions of songbirds partake in spring and fall migrations across the United States. Many of these migrations take place at night, while we are all sound asleep. Amy will present her latest research on what tools we can use to monitor these mass migrations, and what characteristics of the landscape play a pivotal role in stopover locations.
Dr Amy Collins is a Postdoctoral research fellow at Colorado State University. Her research investigates the impacts of light pollution and urbanization on nighttime bird migration. Amy has spent considerable time in LA where she conducted part of her PhD work examining the effects of light and noise pollution on wildlife movement and behavior.
