[DVOC] Scott Weidensaul at DVOC on Thursday night

[Frank Windfelder]

DVOC members:

Don't miss Scott Weidensaul's presentation at DVOC on Thursday night! It should be special!

He will be speaking about his book, “Of a Feather”

>From the moment Europeans arrived in North America, they were awestruck by a continent awash with birds - great flocks of wild pigeons, woodlands alive with brilliantly colored songbirds. Join naturalist and author Scott Weidensaul as he traces the unpredictable history of bird study in America, from frontier ornithologists (one of whom barely escaped pursuing Apaches with a precious hawk egg hidden in his mouth) to society matrons who organized the first effective conservation movement; from luminaries like Alexander Wilson (a convicted blackmailer) and Audubon (an accomplished liar) to modern geniuses like Roger Tory Peterson.

Also, the 2009 DVOC Conservation Award will be presented.

See you there!
