For over 50 years, Soheil Zendeh has been monitoring shorebirds populations in Massachusetts and elsewhere. Over the past 35 years there have been drastic drops in most shorebird populations, particularly long distance migratory birds from the Arctic. He is the author of New England Shorebird Guide, a web-based field guide for New England shorebirders focused on helping introductory to medium level observers. His field guide is hosted on the Bird Observer website.

This webinar will discuss data from past years compared to current numbers, and talk about the difficulties of monitoring these birds considering their far-flung trajectories – nesting in the arctic, migrating through coastal and inland wetlands, wintering in Central and South America. It will also discuss the difficulties of keeping up with shorebird plumage changes through the seasons. The goal of this webinar is to help build a constituency for these birds in order to enhance conservation measures for the ones that need help.

    I have logged in but can’t find a way to register for tonight. When I click on “For more information and to register” it takes me to a page that seems to be for encouraging non-members to join.
