Dr. Armin Rembe Lecture Series: New Mexico’s Migratory Birds

Birds use their instincts, natural cues, and unique flight styles to navigate between their winter and summer ranges each year. They migrate in the spring and the fall, and Albuquerque sits right in the path of the Central Flyway. Join the Bird Alliance of Central New Mexico for this presentation on how birds accomplish this amazing feat, how we study and follow their movements, and how you can support and help these birds along their way.

Dr. Laura Banks is the President of the Bird Alliance of Central New Mexico, which is a local non-profit organization and a chapter of the National Audubon Society. Dr. Banks has degrees in veterinary medicine and public health and has conducted wildlife field studies and raptor rehabilitation and addressed human/animal conflicts on behalf of local government. She has been ‘easily distracted by birds’ for several decades and is in awe of the spectacle of bird migration and the incredible feats of birds who cross the globe.

This event will be held in La Quinta Cultural Center. Please park on the south side of the property, following the signs to the front lawn entrance. Experience a culturally rich day at La Quinta by joining us for afternoon tea before the evening lecture. Guests are invited to visit the Library Bar at La Quinta between 4:30 and 5:30 PM before the talk begins at 5:30 PM.
