A Year of Birdsong – A Book Talk with Dominic Couzens
Saturday, April 13th at 2pm
FREE Online Event (Zoom) Registration required
Leading bird expert Dominic Couzens takes us on a journey around the world to enjoy an authentic year of birdsong, from the influence of the blackbird’s song on classical music to the amazing imitations of the lyrebird. A myriad of topics are covered, including bird nature and behavior, literature inspired by birdsong, the musicality of the sounds, and what different songs communicate. The fifty-two entries are illustrated by award-winning artist Madeleine Floyd and come with a QR code to let readers listen to the birdsong.
Dominic Couzens is a British birder and writer specializing in avian and natural history. He contributes regularly to Bird Watching and BBC Wildlife magazines and is also a professional field trip guide. He is the author of A Bird a Day and lives in Dorset.
