The Courage of Birds: How Our Birds Survive the Winter

Pete Dunne and his new book The Courage of Birds

FREE Autumn Lecture

Pete Dunne, winner of the American Birding Associations Roger Tory Peterson Award for Lifetime Achievement in promoting the cause of birding, will discuss his new book The Courage of Birds. He expertly explores widespread adaptations, such as feathers that protect against the cold, and unpacks the unique migration patterns and survival strategies of individual species. Dunne also addresses the impact of changing climactic conditions on avian longevity and recounts personal anecdotes that soar with a naturalist's gimlet eye.
