Join us for a relaxing evening with the Burke Book Club!
Each month, we’ll hear from Burke staff about a book they recommend. Feel free to read the book ahead of time, or join us to learn more about the selection.
Our January book is Birding for Boomers: And Everyone Else Brave Enough to Embrace the World's Most Rewarding and Frustrating Activity by Sneed B. Collard III.
Book club titles are available in the Burke Store.

ABOUT BIRDING FOR BOOMERS: AND EVERYONE ELSE BRAVE ENOUGH TO EMBRACE THE WORLD'S MOST REWARDING AND FRUSTRATING ACTIVITY
Birding for Boomers is a friendly, accessible, and humorous guide to discovering the joys of bird watching. Beginning birders of all ages will get answers to every question they may have, like which birds like feeders, the difference between a finch and a flicker, or which birding app to use. The guide also helps birders plan everything from local explorations to exciting "bird-cations."
Late-bloomer birders will appreciate Collard’s personal insights and tips for overcoming aging-related challenges such as physical handicaps, poor hearing, or failing eyesight. Additional sections cover sharing birding with others and contributing to community science, habitat stewardship, and bird conservation.
Appealing and light-hearted, Birding for Boomers will help a wide range of readers overcome any doubts and get started with watching, understanding, and conserving our feathered friends.
