Shoals Marine Laboratory is offering its Field Ornithology course from 25 May through 8 June, 2018. Shoals Marine Laboratory is located on Appledore Island which is part of the Isles of Shoals archipelago. The Isles of Shoals are a unique stopover location for many migratory birds, and students will work closely with the Appledore Island Migration Station (AIMS) to monitor migratory patterns of passerines. Routine field observations of the breeding ecology of seabirds including Common Eiders and Great Black-backed Gulls will be made throughout the course. Classroom time includes lectures on avian diversity, behavioral ecology, and principles related to the unique anatomy and physiology of birds.
