April 22, 2021 is Earth Day.
From the New York Times bestselling author of "The Genius of Birds," comes a new book that gives a radical investigation into the bird way of being, and the recent scientific research that is dramatically shifting our understanding of birds about how they live and how they think.
Author, Jennifer Ackerman will present a multimedia presentation on "The Bird Way." This program will explore a kaleidoscope of fascinating behaviors in the bird world through the lens of five arenas of daily activity—communication, work, play, love, and parenting. It tells stories about some of the extraordinary ways that birds do these things and the secret, sophisticated intelligence underlying their behavior.
The program will also explore the new discoveries that are overturning many of our old, conventional ideas about how birds live their lives, describes how science is making some of these astonishing discoveries, and shows the most stunning examples from each section of the book.
The content of this program will range from the tropical rainforests of eastern Australia and the remote woodlands of northern Japan, to the rolling hills of lower Austria and the islands of Alaska’s Kachemak Bay, and includes audio, video, and spectacular photos by professional photographers.
