About the event

Author Event with Joan Strassmann
Author of “The Social Lives of Birds: Flocks, Communes, and Families”

In Conversation with Jonathan Losos, Washington University-Professor of Evolutionary Biology and director of the Living Earth Collaborative

Presented in partnership the St. Louis Audubon Society; Presentation held at the Clark Family Library Branch

Evolutionary biologist and author of “Slow Birding,” Joan Strassmann examines what it means for birds of a feather to flock together. With stories of birds from around the world—from broad-winged hawks that migrate south together in the fall, tree swallows that roost together in the thousands, and guira cuckoos that nest in communes—”The Social Lives of Birds” explores the different kinds of bird groups and what to look for when watching them. Above all, it reveals this fact: solitary life, it seems, is not for the birds.

Unless otherwise noted, all events are free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Seating is limited; early arrival is highly recommended. Books for signing will be available for purchase at the events. For more information, please call 314-994-3300.
