Author Joel Greenberg will bring the story of the passenger pigeon to life and speak about his new book, A Feathered River Across the Sky: The Passenger Pigeon’s Flight to Extinction. Greenberg has been a birder/naturalist for 45 years, and has shared his love and knowledge of nature and conservation by authoring three books, writing numerous articles, co-hosting a radio show, blogging on Birdzilla.com and lecturing widely. He has also written the first book on the species in more than 50 years. Joel uses his passion and humor in telling the poignant story of this species, which also includes the interesting human characters that populate the bird’s history. But this is not just about the past: What happened to the passenger pigeon is relevant to us and those who come after. 

Sponsored by the Blackland Prairie Master Naturalists and Prairie & Timbers Audubon Society.
