Welcomes
Dr. Bruce Beehler “North on the Wing” Tuesday, April 9,

205 Tarpon Blvd
In 2015, Dr. Beehler followed spring migration from the coast
of Texas and Louisiana, up the Mississippi valley, and into the
vast boreal forests of northern Canada. He drove more than
13,000 miles, camped out in a tent 100 consecutive nights, and
immersed himself in the sweep of spring up through America’s
Heartland.
The purpose of this field expedition was to obtain first-hand
knowledge on the state of spring in the year 2015—68 years
after Edwin Way Teale conducted a similar field trip, which he
described in his best-selling book North on the Wing.
Dr. Beehler’s presentation includes a selection of the more
than 5,000 digital images he took featuring birds and nature.
