New Poster "Louisiana: Migratory Crossroads:" Beth
Vairin, publications manager, and the editorial staff at the USGS National
Wetlands Research Center are assisting the Barataria Terrebonne National Estuary
Program (BTNEP) with a poster called "Louisiana: Migratory Crossroads."
The poster will be printed this summer and is a joint effort by BTNEP and
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Designed for middle and high school students,
the poster shows the significance of Louisiana as a stopover site for over
200 migratory bird species each spring and autumn. The BTNEP-USFWS-USGS team
are also working on two other projects about bird migrations through Louisiana.
