Join us for a free screening of Flyways, part of PBS's Nature series.
Shorebirds fly thousands of miles each year along ancient and largely unknown migratory routes called Flyways. More than 200 species, such as Far Eastern Curlews, Lesser Yellowlegs, Red Knots and Hudsonian Godwits, travel from feeding grounds in the southern hemisphere to breeding grounds in the Arctic and back again, flying up to nine days non-stop without food or water.
But their populations are crashing amidst climate change and urban development. Follow a conservation movement of bird-loving experts and citizen scientists as they mobilize to the challenge of understanding and saving shorebirds.
The film is 54 minutes long and is rated TV-14. If you cannot make our screening, stream for free with your Waterford Public Library card on Kanopy.
Program funded by a grant from SciStarter in partnership with HHMI Tangled Bank Studios.
