Join The Small Sit, Manomet’s bite-sized virtual science series, each month as we learn about the wonders of why birds migrate, the importance of river herring in coastal food webs, and so much more!

Shorebirds are often admired for their epic migrations, but did you know some of them have truly bizarre and unexpected behaviors? From scavengers that feast on seal blood to sandpipers that inflate their chests like tiny balloons, the world of shorebirds is full of weird and wonderful surprises!

Join Rob Clay, Vice President of Flyways at Manomet Conservation Sciences, for an exciting and eye-opening webinar, Weird and Wonderful Shorebirds. You’ll meet some of the strangest avian travelers on the planet, including the Snowy Sheathbill, the only shorebird to breed in the Antarctic, which dines on seal blood and penguin feces, and other shorebirds with astonishing survival tactics, feeding habits, and adaptations that challenge what we think we know about these remarkable birds.

Whether you’re a lifelong bird enthusiast or just love a good nature mystery, this webinar will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the oddities of the avian world. Come ready to be amazed, amused, and maybe even a little grossed out! Don’t miss this chance to explore the stranger side of shorebirds with one of the leading experts in the field.
