Greater Fort Worth Sierra Club Environmental & Nature Book Club: 'A Most Remarkable Creature: The Hidden Life and Epic Journey of the World’s Smartest Birds of Prey' - Arlington

Dec 9 2024 - 6:30pm to 8:00pm

Fielder Museum

1616 W Abrams St

Arlington , TX

See map: Google Maps

The group will discuss A Most Remarkable Creature: The Hidden Life and Epic Journey of the World’s Smartest Birds of Prey.

Terry’s thoughts: "This is a very interesting book. It is more about the people who study the striated caracaras than the birds themselves, but most of us will glean much fascinating information. I recommend it to even the most casual bird watcher/lover. You will most likely become a fan and proponent for these birds. I wish I could have gone along with the writer on his excursions.

All are invited whether you have read the book or not. Food and beverages allowed.
