SWIFTY and Yachats Academy of Arts & Sciences invite you to a presentation on Purple Martins by Dr. Sarah Rockwell!

Dr. Sarah Rockwell of Klamath Bird Observatory will talk about the first ever study to GPS-tag and track Western Purple Martins throughout their annual cycle. This research is uncovering migratory stopover and overwintering sites from Oregon to Brazil that will aid in international conservation efforts for this unique at-risk subspecies.

Dr. Rockwell manages several monitoring programs of restoration with Klamath Bird Observatory and studies species of conservation concern. She received her doctorate at the University of Maryland and the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, where she studied the ecology of the then-endangered Kirtland’s Warbler.
