Following a brief business meeting, you can explore the complexities of "Birds, Migration, and Weather Patterns" with guest speaker Dave Nicosia, Meteorologist-in-Charge of the National Weather Service in Binghamton. Learn how high and low pressures, cold fronts and warm fronts, land forms, oceans and lakes, winds, and much more help drive bird migration. Growing up in Athens, PA, Nicosia was an active birder by age 11, and an early interest in weather and climate led him to earn B.S and M.S degrees in Meteorology from Penn State University. His 30 years with the National Weather Service includes forecasting hazardous weather and briefing public safety officials about weather events; delivering weather and climate-related training sessions and lectures to federal, state, and local agencies; and speaking on these topics at universities and civic organizations. For his work during the Flood of 2006, Nicosia received the Susquehanna River Basin Commission’s prestigious Maurice K. Goddard Award. Nicosia has been a leader for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Spring Field Ornithology classes, the Broome Naturalist’s Club, and New York's Third Breeding Bird Atlas. He was instrumental in the development of BirdCast with the Lab of Ornithology. BirdCast an online tool that provides live and local bird migration alerts throughout the continental U.S. by employing real-time analysis of bird migration traffic as detected by radar.
