Adult Danbury bird lovers will be flocking to sign up for the Danbury Library’s upcoming An Avian History of NYC. The program will take place in early August.
New York City has about 400 bird species that have been identified. This presentation will discuss NYC’s 500 miles of coastline that attract waterfowl and shorebirds. Songbirds, owls, hawks, woodpeckers all live in forest-like areas in the city parks and streets, and the peregrine falcon nests in areas on its bridges.
From the native Lenape people, up to John James Audubon and today’s ornithologists and birders, NYC human and bird relationships over the centuries will also be discussed.
Author of Field Guide to the Natural World of New York City and Field Guide to the Neighborhood Birds of New York City, Dr. Leslie Day, will give the Zoom presentation. She often hosts Zoom talks on natural history topics.
Although the program will be free, guests must register to get the link. This can be done on the library’s website.
Ornithologists who attend events such as these often like to go to local Stationery printers and have their personal bird pictures turned into personalized Letterheads and note cards.
An Avian History of NYC will take place on Zoom on Thursday, August 5 from 3:00 pm until 4:00 pm.
