Ornithologist and St. Luke’s parishioner John Rappole will give a presentation on his newest book, Migration Mysteries: Adventures, Disasters, and Epiphanies in a Life with Birds, at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute on Saturday, November 2 at 1 pm.
Rappole’s lifelong journey has been in search of one thing—finding out why birds migrate. The developer and chief proponent of the “dispersal theory” of bird migration, Rappole takes readers on a tour of the decades-long discovery process that led him to propose a counter to the still–widely accepted “northern home,” or weather-based theory of migration. Recognizing parallel patterns with human migration, Rappole will present on the dynamics which influence migration patterns of people and birds alike.
