Please join us for a discussion of

The Genius of Birds
 by Jennifer Ackerman

Monday, July 13 @ 7pm

If you think being called a birdbrain is an insult, July’s Book Club selection is a must-read! This myth will be debunked in Ackerman’s “lyrical testimony to the wonders of avian intelligence.” – Scientific American

With bird activity all around, this is the perfect time to pick up a copy of The Genius of Birds and join our Bylane Book Club discussion of this “journey of of deep appreciation for the beautiful geniuses all around us.”

If all goes smoothly with the reopening of Westchester County, this meeting will be held outdoors at Bylane Farm on the patio, with an option to connect virtually for anyone not ready for in-person events.
