SUMMARY:Skywatching: Human-Bird Relationships Through Time feat. Dr. Bonnie Newsom\, Angi King Johnson\, and Olivia Olson (Schoodic Institute's Summer Lecture Series)
DESCRIPTION:Join us in person at Schoodic Institute or online via Zoom on Tuesday\, September 8 at 7:00pm for Skywatching: Human-Bird Relationships Through Time\, our 2026 Summer Lecture Series closing event featuring Dr. Bonnie Newsom (Associate Professor of Anthropology and Associate Faculty in the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine)\, Angi King Johnson (interpretive naturalist and raptor specialist)\, and Olivia Olson (M.S. University of Maine and Public Programs and Volunteer Manager at Lake Champlain Maritime Museum). \nAs the autumn winds increase and the days shorten\, Acadia experiences waves of migrating sea and shore birds\, warblers\, and raptors\, an annual phenomenon that provides an opportunity to consider human relationships with birds. In this panel discussion\, Dr. Bonnie Newsom will present on Wabanaki cultural associations with birds. These stories are grounded in gifts and creations Wabanaki ancestors left behind in shell mounds\, and Olivia Olson will share her analysis of bird-related materials recovered from cultural heritage spaces in and beyond Acadia. Angi King Johnston\, lead volunteer for the Cadillac Mountain Hawk Watch\, will make connections from past to present\, describing trends observed over the last thirty years of watching the skies from the highest mountain on the East Coast. \nRegister online at https://schoodicinstitute.org/event/summer-lecture-series-skywatching/ \nSchoodic Institute’s 2026 Summer Lecture Series events are free\, thanks to support from our generous sponsor\, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust.
