Join us for the Grand Rapids Audubon Club’s Birdy Book Club, hosted at Books & Mortar, a locally owned, independent book store. On July 14, we’ll discuss “Birding to Change the World” by Trish O’Kane.

About the book:

In this uplifting memoir, a professor and activist shares what birds can teach us about life, social change, and protecting the environment. In “Birding to Change the World,” O’Kane details the astonishing science of bird life, from migration and parenting to the territorial defense strategies that influenced her own activism. A warm and compelling weave of science and social engagement, this is the story of an improbable band of bird lovers who saved their park. And it is a blueprint for muscular citizenship, powered by joy.
