Are you interested in birds, or perhaps endangered species? Join us on Wednesday, January 26 to learn about the Michigan Notable Book “The Kirtland's Warbler: The Story of a Bird's Fight Against Extinction and the People Who Saved It” by William Rapai. This book looks at the history of this unique bird, examines the people and policies that kept the warbler from extinction, explores the cult of personality that surrounds it, and examines the challenges of the future—all through the eyes of the people who have acted so passionately on its behalf. There will be a Q&A for attendees.

This event will take place in Facebook Live and Zoom webinar. You can register for Zoom at https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/9116412438935/WN_82XVKmSeSm-DoZiIWPwmhw
A recording will be posted on Facebook and YouTube.
