By design\, the conference retains a familiar and friendly atmosphere\, welcoming new students and ornithologists into the fold\, and providing a much-anticipated gathering for those who work with and care about Alaska’s birds. \nThe theme of the conference is “Bring Birds Back.” Conference organizers chose this theme to highlight the peril many migratory bird species face today as they transit between their breeding\, migratory stopover\, and wintering areas.

Dr. Pete Marra\, who is a co-author of this paper\, will present information related to this topic during his keynote speech at the conference and at a special community event during the evening.
