Speaker: Scott Weidensaul
Please join us via Zoom for Great Salt Lake Audubon’s Virtual Fall Forum on Wednesday, October 13 at 7:00 P.M. New York Times best-selling author Scott Weidensaul presents A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds.
In the past two decades, our understanding has exploded of the navigational and physiological feats that enable birds to cross immense oceans, fly above the highest mountains, or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch. Certain species, such as thrushes, avoid dehydration by drinking from their own muscles and organs, extending their flight range by more than two thousand miles; it seems all but certain that birds orient themselves using Earth’s magnetic field through a form of quantum entanglement that made Einstein queasy.
These and other revelations convey both the wonder of bird migration and its global sweep, from the mudflats of the Yellow Sea in China to the remote mountains of northeastern India to the dusty hills of southern Cyprus. This breathtaking work of nature writing also introduces readers to those scientists, researchers, and bird lovers trying to preserve global migratory patterns in the face of climate change and other environmental challenges.
Scott Weidensaul is the author of nearly thirty books, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist Living on the Wind. A naturalist, writer, and researcher specializing in birds and bird migration, he is a native of Pennsylvania now living in New Hampshire.

Event headquarters are at the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Wildlife Education Center at Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area. Located on the edge of Great Salt Lake, this birders paradise at one of the greatest natural locations in Utah.
Join us on November 2 from 7:00–8:30 PM via Zoom for the Fall Forum. Author Jonathan Meiburg will talk about The Galapagos, Darwin and the Remarkable Caracaras. In 1997, Jonathan received a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship to travel to remote communities around the world, ayear-long journey that sparked his enduring fascination with islands, birds, and the deep history of the living world. Since then, he has written reviews, features, and interviews for print and online publications on subjects ranging from a hidden exhibit hall at the American Museum of Natural History to the last long-form interview with author Peter Matthiessen. He is best known as the lead singer and songwriter for Shearwater.
Fall Forum is co-sponsored with Westminster College. Erica Marken invites you to a Zoom book club discussion of Meiburg’s birds of prey book titled A Most Remarkable Creature on Wednesday, October 26 from 6:30–7:30 PM. Details will be shared via the GSLA email list.
