Karl Jungbluth will demonstrate the use of weather radar to monitor nocturnal bird migration. Karl has over 20 years of experience studying Iowa birds, and his career with the National Weather Service gave him unique insights into the techniques of tracking migrants. He’ll discuss how we can augment our understanding of migration and improve our birding success by interpreting bird signatures on spring or autumn weather radar.  Karl will place special emphasis on predicting “fallouts” of colorful migrants in central Iowa.

Des Moines Audubon meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. and are held in the lunchroom of the Northwest Community Center, which is located at 51st and Franklin Avenue in Des Moines.
