Slow Birding

July 18 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Join Dr. Strassmann in getting to know the most common birds, not just by sight, but by behavior.

THURSDAY, JULY 18

Slow Birding

7:00–8:30 PM

Joan E. Strassmann, Ph.D., Professor of Biology, Washington University in St. Louis and Author of Slow Birding

Sponsored by Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens + Tredyffrin Public Library’s Arbo-READ-um partnership

In the heart of migration, it is easy to jump from one bird to the next, tallying counts of warblers, vireos, tanagers, and thrushes with increasing speed. But there is another way to approach birding—through slow, quiet observation. Join Dr. Strassmann in getting to know the most common birds, not just by sight, but by behavior. Discover their unique stories and enrich your experiences of our most commonly seen birds.

Free of charge | Virtual event (a Zoom link will be emailed to participants prior to lecture date)
