Bird Migration on Cape Cod and Photography
Speaker: Kimberly Robbins
Where: Mural Barn, Atwood Museum
When: Tuesday, April 14, 2026 – 5:00 PM
Bird observation isn’t about chasing rarities — it’s about awareness. Growing up in the woods and marshes of South Chatham, Kimberly Robbins learned to pay attention long before she ever picked up a camera. In this talk, she will share how the quality of light, the time of year, tidal shifts, and the simple act of listening shape what we discover during migration on Cape Cod. When we engage all of our senses, migration becomes less of a checklist and more of a relationship — with the birds, and with the landscape itself.
