Join ornithologist David Allen Sibley, bestselling author and illustrator of The Sibley Guide to Birds, for three master classes on the wonders of your own backyard and his new book, What It’s Like to Be a Bird.
Sibley’s comprehensive, beautifully illustrated volumes have established him as one the world’s leading authorities on North American birds – from orioles to owls. Just in time for this year’s spring migration, hear him discuss what to look for in the surprising and complex behavior patterns of species all over the continent, how he illustrates his magnificent books, and much more – designed for seasoned and casual birders alike. By popular demand, the final class in the series will be entirely devoted to a special audience Q&A, mere days before World Migratory Bird Day.
This class meets on March 16, 23 and May 4.
