The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year ~Margaret Renkl

Zoom Meeting Date: January 6th  Time: 6:30 – 7:30 PM

In The Comfort of Crows, Margaret Renkl presents a literary devotional: fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a year. As we move through the seasons—from a crow spied on New Year’s Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year, to the lingering bluebirds of December, revisiting the nest box they used in spring—what develops is a portrait of joy and grief: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world, and grief over winters that end too soon and songbirds that grow fewer and fewer.

Perhaps no other family of birds captures the imagination of birders and non-birders alike more than owls. These nocturnal birds often remain mysterious to us, with their presence revealed mainly through their calls. In this webinar, Conservation & Education Coordinator Joe Attwater will go over these amazing birds and how they thrive when most of the bird world is inactive.
