Program Description

Event Details

Come discuss Birding Without Borders: an Obsession, a Quest, and the Biggest Year in the World by Noah Strycker.

Traveling to 41 countries in 2015 with a backpack and binoculars, Noah Strycker became the first person to see more than half the world’s 10,000 species of birds in one year.

Noah ventures deep into a world of blood-sucking leeches, chronic sleep deprivation, airline snafus, breakdowns, mudslides, floods, war zones, ecologic devastation, conservation triumphs, common and iconic species, and scores of passionate bird lovers around the globe. By pursuing the freest creatures on the planet, Noah gains a unique perspective on the world they share with us and offers a hopeful message that even as many birds face an uncertain future, more people than ever are working to protect them.
