Join us to learn the basics about how and why birds migrate, along with some of the incredible feats birds accomplish when migrating. The Laguna de Santa Rosa is part of the Pacific Migratory Flyway, in which millions of birds migrate annually from winter homes to summer nesting grounds. Hear stories about birds that winter in the Laguna, journey to our watershed in the spring for nesting, or briefly stopover before continuing their migration. This talk is geared towards teenagers and adults.
A native Santa Rosan, Denise Cadman is an Environmental Specialist for the City of Santa Rosa. This position involves managing 1,500 acres of irrigated and natural area land in the Laguna de Santa Rosa: planting creek corridors, removing invasive species, conducting studies and performing long-term surveys on plants, birds, and mammals. As an adjunct faculty member in the Life Sciences Department at Santa Rosa Junior College, Denise teaches biology. She is also very active with the Laguna Foundation as one of our docent trainers, science advisors, Laguna Keeper leaders, and a former board member. Denise attributes her career in natural resource management to a love of bird watching.
