Join us to hear about these elegant, uniquely Alaskan birds as Robyn Thomas, wildlife biologist, shares with us what she discovered about Emperors on their winter range. Robyn will be presenting in Fairbanks but you can zoom from anywhere with the link to be posted here closer to the time https://alaskarefugefriends.org/emperor-geese/
Although much research had been done on Emperor geese nesting grounds on the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, almost nothing was known about what happens in winter. Unlike other geese species nesting in Alaska, these birds also winter in Alaska and are found only in the Bering Sea region. Her hope is that winter research would shed more light on the wild population fluctuations this species has endured. Winter research on Alaska’s Coast is tough. Hear her stories and learn what she found out.
There will also be watch parties in Soldotna, Homer and Anchorage REI or you can zoom from anywhere. Details, zoom link and the recording afterwards here https://alaskarefugefriends.org/emperor-geese/
