Some migratory birds are capable of flying non-stop for several days to over a week without food or water. This remarkable feat allows them to travel thousands of kilometers in one flight, but the physiological adaptations that make it possible are still mysterious. In this presentation, Dr. Guglielmo will discuss research being conducted by his lab and others to discover how they do it.
Dr. Chris Guglielmo is a Professor of Biology and the Director of the Centre for Animals on the Move at Western University. He is also a Co-Director of the Advanced Facility for Avian Research, where he and his students use a unique climatic bird wind tunnel to study endurance flight of wild migratory songbirds and shorebirds under different altitude, temperature, and humidity conditions. He has over 30 years of experience working with migratory birds and bats in the field and laboratory.
We will visit sewage lagoons in Strathroy and Forest, as well as sites along Lake Huron near Port Franks and Ipperwash to look for waterfowl and late fall birds. Most of the walking will be on uneven ground. Some small hills will be encountered. Carpooling is encouraged. Dress warmly. Bring binoculars, snacks, a water bottle, and walking poles, if appropriate. We will stop at Tim Hortons or another restaurant for lunch. Meet at the Tim Hortons at 1255 Fanshawe Park Road West, near Sunripe. It is a short distance east of Hyde Park Road.
