An Evening with Dexter Patterson, author of Birds of the Great Lakes

Join us for an evening with Dexter Patterson, author of Birds of the Great Lakes and cofounder of the BIPOC Birding Club of Wisconsin. Our region is teeming with scores of beautiful birds, and Patterson will help you find them! Sure to inspire and delight bird lovers of all backgrounds, this event features Patterson in conversation with Lindsay Focht, Schlitz Audubon’s Raptor Program Director.

Patterson’s easy-to-use new book helps birders identify more than 100 commonly seen birds that help make the Great Lakes the natural wonders that they are. An emphasis on best practices and habitat sustainability help empower conservation and ensure that birding around our most precious resources will be possible for years to come. Perfect for budding and experienced birders alike.

Birds of the Great Lakes will be available for purchase at the event, with a portion of the proceeds being donated by Boswell Book Company to Schlitz Audubon. A book signing will follow the program.

Dexter Patterson is the CEO of operation Bird Joy, a venture aimed at spreading joy and encouraging people to enjoy the wonders of bird watching, and his work has been featured in prominent birding publications, including Birds & Blooms, Sierra Club, and National Audubon magazines. He also teaches in UW-Madison’s Department of Life Science Communication.
