'In the Shadow of the Bridge: Birds of the Bay Area' Book Presentation

Join photographer Dick Evans, essayist Hannah Hindley and Grant Ballard, Chief Science Officer at Point Blue Conservation Science for a lively talk inspired by their new book, In the Shadow of the Bridge: Birds of the Bay Area. Blending striking photography with beautiful storytelling, they’ll share the creative journey behind the book, highlight regional conservation stories, and offer tips on bird photography as well as resources for more deeply knowing and protecting our local avian world. Proceeds from the book will benefit Point Blue Conservation Science, whose scientists guided Dick and Hannah into the world of birds and will join them onstage for this presentation. This talk invites readers, birders, and nature lovers to discover the human and natural forces that make this region one of the richest places on the continent for birdwatching.

This event features:

• An illuminating dialogue between photographer Dick Evans, writer Hannah Hindley, and scientist Grant Ballard about their shared journey blending creativity and conservation
• A visual presentation of select photographs from the book
• A Q&A with the audience
• Book signing and mingling with local bird lovers, conservationists, and curious readers

Proceeds from book sales benefit Point Blue and nonprofit publisher, Heyday Books.

Doors open at 6:30pm, programming begins in the Goldman Theater at 7pm followed by book signing in the Hazel Wolf Gallery.
