An Evening with Joan E. Strassmann, author of Slow Birding

Join us for an evening with author and evolutionary biologist Joan E. Strassmann as she presents a program on Slow Birding and the forthcoming book, The Social Lives of Birds. The talk is sure to be enlightening and rewarding for all those interested in birding and the important research behind many recent bird population studies. Following her presentation there will be a Q & A.
