The more data about bird migration we gather from professional and citizen science efforts, the more each one of us can learn about the comings and goings of our favorite species. Obviously, when Audubon and Cornell Lab of Ornithology collaborate on a Bird Migration Forecast tool, the result is going to be pretty spectacular.

This isn’t just a case of some business orientated universities having contempt for the natural sciences (although no doubt that plays a part). Make no mistake, museum collections are essential and irreplaceable tools to advance science. Data from museums helps the IUCN make decisions about threatened species.

With climate change appearing to expand the skeeters’ range, according to recent research in Science Advances , the birds have fewer safe places to hide. Further, a new scientific study suggests that these crows may have an advantage over other avians—like their cousins, the New Caledonian Crows , they are revealed to be tool users.

He writes about how experienced birders think, and how they draw on the sciences of weather, geography, and ecology to analyze where the birds will be. The cover of the book (not of Derek Lovitch) gives you some idea of the tools the better birder needs in the early 21st-century. And one of those tools is Geography.
