The Wonder and Risk of Transpacific Migration

Discover the amazing movement patterns of albatrosses, sharks, and other open-ocean creatures as wildlife biologist Peter Pyle presents his research on transpacific migration. Find out how Pacific Ocean migrants overcome the hardships and risks of long-distance travel over the inhospitable and food-deprived central Pacific. The great flights of Black-footed Albatrosses, which come 4,000 miles to California to get food for their chicks, will be a primary focus. His talk will also include Great White Sharks and other marine animals, and the over-water journeys of various shorebirds, land birds, insects, and bats. Peter will put all of this information into a conservation context.
