In the past few years the birding community has woken up to the fact that one of the best migration hotspots in all of the western US is right in our neighborhood -- Bear Divide in the Angeles National Forest. Each spring tens of thousands of songbirds fly through the gap at Bear Divide on their way north. Dr. Ryan Terrill, who heads up the research at Bear Divide, will update us on what we've been learning at this unique location.
Dr. Ryan S. Terrill is postdoc researcher at the Moore College of Zoology at Occidental College. For the past several years he's been leading the efforts to record the birds migrating past Bear Divide.
