As we celebrate Earth Month in April, the Topsfield Town Library (in partnership with other libraries across the state) welcome author Heather Wolf, author of Find More Birds: 111 Surprising Ways to Spot Birds Wherever You Are. Maybe checkout our birdwatching kit, Identiflyer Lyric Birdcall machine, or our backyard birding bingo from our Library of Things collection and put your newfound skills to use in your backyard, or some of the parks around us like the Ipswich Wildlife Sanctuary!

This is a virtual program that will be held via Zoom. ***CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THIS PROGRAM***

Seeing more birds than you ever imagined and witnessing exciting avian drama is possible—whether you’re on the go or in your own neighborhood, local park, or backyard. As Heather Wolf explains, it all comes down to how you tune in to the show happening around you, the one in which birds—highly skilled at staying under the radar—are the stars. In Find More Birds, Heather shares her very best tactics—and the jaw-dropping photographs they helped her capture.

• Look for birds at their favorite “restaurants”— from leaf litter to berry bushes, and ball fields to small patches of mud.
• Watch for “tree bark” that moves . . . you may find it has feathers.
• Try simply sitting on the ground for a revealing new perspective.

Plus, special tips point the way to crowd favorites such as hummingbirds, owls, and eagles—and can’t-miss bird behaviors. As your senses sharpen and “noticing” becomes second nature, Find More Birds will turn your daily routines into bird-finding adventures, too. Whether you’re strolling down the block or parking your car, you never know what will surprise you next!
