SUMMARY:Bird School: A Beginner in the Wood – A Conversation with Author Adam Nicolson Live from Sussex with Science Journalist Cara Giaimo
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday March 1 at 3PM the Brookline Bird Club is joining with the Boston Birding Festival and Massachusetts Association of Bird Clubs to sponsor a conversation with writer Adam Nicolson\, the author of Bird School: A Beginner in the Woods. This webinar is open to all. \nTo learn the birds\, the writer Adam Nicolson built an elevated shed as his own personal school\, a man-sized birdhouse he calls an “absorbatory\,” not an observatory\, sited where and English garden and one-time farm\, birds and humans\, pasts and presents\, blur together at the wild wood edge. \nThis is the spongy “rough ground” of Adam Nicolson’s recent book\, Bird School: A Beginner In the Wood. The author of acclaimed works on history\, landscape\, and great literature\, Nicolson is also a preeminent naturalist. He is the recipient of the Somerset Maugham Award\, the W. H. Heinemann Award\, and the Ondaatje Prize. His books include The Life Between the Tides and Why Homer Matters. \nIn his bird school classroom\, Nicolson approaches the task of learning the birds with whatever tools he has on hand—philosophy\, environmental science\, poetry\, music\, history and more. His inventiveness and delight in discovery contributes to this book’s charm.  But he is also on a mission to be “in the world with as little conceptualization of it as the animals or maybe even the stones.” \n“Every wood is a bird cosmopolis\,” Nicolson writes from his classroom. “Every blink of life outside the birdhouse window is a planetary phenomenon.” \nRunning through Bird School is a worrying undercurrent of nature in crisis—declining species\, vanishing habitat\, ecological unraveling\, a warming climate\, and changing ground—and a insistence on engaging these challenges in new ways. Drawing on everything from biblical prophets and Mesopotamian farming practices\, to Beethoven and the Merlin app\, Nicolson invites readers to imagine a more porous\, spongy fabric of being—one that includes birds and humans alike\, not “shrink-wrapped” into tidy categories. \nHow to Register\nThis webinar is open to all. \nTo register please visit the Boston Birding Festival website and pick CLICK TO REGISTER:\nhttps://www.bostonbirdingfestival.org/posts/bird-school-a-beginner-in-the-wood/ \nAbout the Author\nAdam Nicolson\, FSA\, FSA Scot\, FRSL (born 12 September 1957) is an English author who has written about history\, landscape\, great literature and the sea. He has worked as a journalist and in both radio and television. Between 2005 and 2009\, in partnership with the National Trust\, Nicolson led a project which transformed the land surrounding his house and garden at Sissinghurst into a productive mixed farm\, growing meat\, fruit\, cereals and vegetables. He his son Tom were among the partners in a project to eradicate invasive predators from the Shiant Isles\, Outer Hebrides\, Scotland. In March 2018\, the islands were declared rat-free. \nAbout the Interviewer\nCara Giaimo is a science journalist who loves writing about our fellow species. You can find her work in the New York Times\, Atlas Obscura\, WIRED\, and elsewhere. Cara lives in Somerville\, Massachusetts. Her most recent book is Leaving the Ocean Was a Mistake: Life Lessons from Sixty Sea Creatures. \nAbout the Boston Birding Festival\nThe Boston Birding Festival In partnership with environmental\, cultural\, and community leaders and organizations\, the Boston Birding Festival seeks to create transformative experiences of collective awe that strengthen public understanding and appreciation of the natural world and contribute to increased environmental justice\, conservation\, and sustainability. We do this through the lens of birding.

SUMMARY:Members Webinar with Tiffany Kirsten - Birdie Big Year: Elevating Women Birders

IF YOU PREVIOUSLY SIGNED UP\, YOUR REGISTRATION AND ZOOM LINK WILL STILL WORK FOR THE MARCH 24 DATE.  \nPlease join the BBC on the evening of March 24 from 7PM to 8:30PM for a member only webinar with Tiffany Kirsten\, entitled Birdie Big Year: Elevating Women Birders. \n\n\n\nTiffany Kersten didn’t set out to do a Big Year\, but after a series of unanticipated and serendipitous events\, she suddenly found herself amidst one. As a sexual assault survivor\, she spent 2021 traveling to all corners of the Lower 48 States\, tallying birds and gifting personal safety alarms to women she met along the way. Her goal was to see 700 species\, and to raise awareness of women’s safety in the outdoors. She ended up surpassing her goal and setting a new record\, of 726 species. In her presentation\, Tiffany will lead us through the fear\, empowerment\, struggles\, and healing that all played vital roles in the personal growth she experienced on this wild adventure. \nTo register you must be a BBC member.

SUMMARY:Members Webinar - Wood-Warblers of New England
DESCRIPTION:Please join the BBC on the evening of April 28 from 7PM to 8:30PM for a members-only webinar with Bill Gette entitled Wood-Warblers of New England. \nWood-warblers\, the Gems of the Forest\, are one of the most exciting groups of birds. Living in New England\, we are blessed by the many warbler species that move into our area in the spring to nest. We also get to see the warblers that pass through our area in the spring and fall in route to and from their northern breeding ranges. \nDuring his richly illustrated PowerPoint presentation\, Bill Gette will show you images of 30 wood-warbler species and review their taxonomy and nomenclature\, discuss key aids to field identification\, explain their feeding ecology and migration strategies\, and review other interesting information. Bill will include migration charts for many species and discuss areas where you can find warblers. This webinar is a perennial favorite! \nTo register log into your member account and go to Member Resources. \nNot a member? Join Now! \nFor more information contact info@brooklinebirdclub.org.
