	Migration mileposts now connect communities on the pacific flyway in Seattle, Washington, San Francisco Bay, and Titumate, Colombia. On the Atlantic flyway markers and artworks have been located in Quebec, New Jersey, and Charlotte, North Carolina. The artist is interested in locating more sites along the flyways of the western hemisphere.
With Community members, organizations and agencies, I will create artworks which contribute to habitat and raise public awareness of migration and the challenges facing migratory birds. Art at each site will differ depending on the needs of the birds and community, but all installations will be tied together by "Migration Mileposts" - signposts and symbols which might be like small standing stones, etched with information about local bird species and distances they travel.
In addition, we would create water capture basins, shelter, plantings to provide food for birds in transit, and other artworks appropriate to enhancing habitat at the site.
