Lecture Series: Meiburg and Weidensaul In Conversation

Join us for an evening with two fascinating writers of the avian world, Jonathan Meiburg and Scott Weidensaul. Meiburg’s book, A Most Remarkable Creature: The Hidden Life and Epic Journey of the World’s Smartest Birds of Prey, dives into the world of the caracaras, clever, social birds that puzzled Darwin and carry secrets of our planet’s deep past in their family history. Scott Weidensaul’s most recent book, New York Times bestseller A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds draws on his fieldwork to unveil the migratory miracle of nature taking place over our heads. RSVP is required for this virtual event. No limit. Free

Praise for A Most Remarkable Creature:

“A fascinating, entertaining, and totally engrossing story of these under-appreciated birds, deftly intertwining natural history and human history, and with insights and lessons that go far beyond the subject birds.” —David Sibley, author of What It’s Like to Be a Bird

Praise for A World on the Wing:

"Scott Weidensaul, one of our finest nature writers, has produced another instant classic. In A World on the Wing he takes a pair of highly complex subjects―global patterns of bird migration, and the research into those patterns―and brings them to life with his own amazing adventures around the world. Here is proof that a book of solid science can also be a page-turner. Highly recommended for anyone curious about the natural world."
― Kenn Kaufman, author of the Kaufman Field Guides
