Elgin RoomJeff Reiter, "Words on Birds" columnist for the Daily Herald since 2004, will share insights about the fast-growing hobby of birding, and the many ways to enjoy it. Please register.
Since 2004, readers of the Daily Herald newspaper have enjoyed "Words on Birds" by Jeff Reiter, a column about birds, birding and birders. A central theme is that birding is a fun and accessible lifetime hobby that’s also good for our mental health. This presentation, supported by colorful slides, will include stories about the backyard and "everyday" birds plus tales of rare bird stakeouts and cross-country adventures. Audience members, especially those new to the hobby, will go away with fresh insights about birding, along with encouragement to enjoy birds and nature on their own terms, at their own pace.
Copies of Jeff's new book, The Best of Words on Birds, will be available for purchase. Please Register.
