VIRTUAL: Author Heather Wolf Discusses “Find & Identify More Birds: How to Pick a Patch”
September 23 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The BFL is partnering with the Ashland Library to bring you bestselling author Heather Wolf, who will discuss how to find and identify more birds by picking a “patch,” a place close to home where you can watch birds often. She’ll give tips on how to pick a patch and how to use it not only as a “classroom” to become a better birder, but also as a way to connect more deeply with the nature that surrounds you.
RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.
About Heather’s book, Find More Birds: 111 Surprising Ways to Spot Birds Wherever You Are:
A gorgeously photographed trove of 111 ingenious tips for seeing more birds wherever you are—from crowd favorites (hummingbirds, owls, eagles) to species you’ve never spotted before. Seeing more birds than you ever imagined and witnessing exciting avian drama is possible—whether you’re on the go or in your own neighborhood, local park, or backyard. As Heather Wolf explains, it all comes down to how you tune in to the show happening around you, the one in which birds—highly skilled at staying under the radar—are the stars. In Find More Birds, Heather shares her very best tactics—and the jaw-dropping photographs they helped her capture:
-
- Look for birds at their favorite “restaurants”— from leaf litter to berry bushes, and ball fields to small patches of mud
- Watch for “tree bark” that moves . . . you may find it has feathers
- Try simply sitting on the ground for a revealing new perspective
As your senses sharpen and “noticing” becomes second nature, Find More Birds will turn your daily routines into bird-finding adventures, too. Whether you’re strolling down the block or parking your car, you never know what will surprise you next!
