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.
The Club offers a spread of dessert squares, cookies, etc., as well as cheese and crackers, coffee, tea, and juice. They will have a slide presentation of Club events. They will also hold a 50/50 draw and a can raffle, with members donating items. Tickets are 10 for $5. They do not charge for this event, and it is open to the public. They would be happy to have any Nature London members join them.
Location: Knox Church, Wellington and Hincks St., in St. Thomas. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the meeting starts at 7 pm. Attendees should use the Mitchell Street entrance.

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.

Samreen Munim will talk about Birds Canada's Ontario Forest Birds Program and four of its target species: Acadian Flycatcher, Cerulean Warbler, Louisiana Waterthrush, and Prothonotary Warbler. She'll go over why these species are so special, provide fresh updates on their population status in Ontario, and outline some of the new challenges each species is facing today.
Samreen has been identifying birds and helping conduct research since 2016 and has worked on projects focused on dance fly mating strategies, urban plant ecology, and rocky outcrop sparrow communities. For the past 5 years, she has been part of the Ontario Forest Birds Program at Birds Canada, where she works with land managers across southwestern Ontario to survey for forest birds and support conservation efforts for five at-risk forest bird species.
