The Comfort of Crows is DBC Book Club’s Next Read
Join fellow DBC members on Tuesday evening, March 11, to share insights from The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year. Written by Margaret Renkl, the book’s 52 chapters follow the creatures and plants in the author’s backyard over the course of a year. Reviewer’s call it “a luminous book” that celebrates the natural world. Each chapter is beautifully illustrated with original color artwork. For details on the meeting, contact Mike Warner at mwarner2543@gmail.com.
Happy 40th Birthday to DBC!
It’s a milestone year for the DuPage Birding Club! On January 14, the Club will have been in existence for 40 years! That’s pretty impressive longevity for an all-volunteer organization whose members belong simply (and renew their membership each year) because they love watching, hearing, and learning about birds! Kudos to the 21 founding members who saw a need and had a vision, and kudos to the 40 leadership teams who have created programs, field trips and other activities that have kept us interested.
