This talk explores migration as a biological wonder and a source of human inspiration\, weaving connections between landscapes. Together we discover how the movements of birds echoes themes of resilience\, belonging\, and change. Join ornithologist Chad Witko (Birding University) for a journey into the science and symbolism of migration. For ages 12 and up and everyone is welcome to enjoy the Migrations exhibit art. Meet in the Great Hall.
