DBC member Jeff Reiter has just released The Best of Words on Birds, a selection of his favorite columns from 30 years of publishing Words on Birds monthly in The Daily Herald. Columns focus on individual species, birding tips and know-how for beginners, interesting people or books in the field, and Jeff’s own personal experiences as a birder. Few people have done more to evangelize the pleasure of engaging with birds than Jeff. If birding is “having a moment,” Jeff is one of the people who importantly nurtured the interest of new birders and bird nerds alike. Check out this Q&A with Jeff and the editor at Eckhartz:Q&A.
Jeff will give a talk and sign books on September 4 at 6:30 p.m. at Cantigny Park. The event is free with paid parking ($5). https://cantigny.org/event/book-talk-birds/
