Presenters: Gary Meiter, author, and Dr. Andy Jones, William A. and Nancy R. Klamm Endowed Chair & Curator of Ornithology
Join the Museum's Dr. Andy Jones and author Gary Meiter for a lively discussion of Mr. Meiter’s recent book, Bird is the Word: An Historical Perspective on the Names of North American Birds.
Bird is the Word is a different sort of bird book. More than a field guide, it’s a comprehensive compilation of the names of almost 800 North American birds—and of how, when, where, and by whom those names were created. In a conversation with Dr. Jones, Mr. Meiter will share some of the fascinating stories behind the naming of North America’s diverse avifauna and explain how he came to write the book. Afterward, Mr. Meiter and Dr. Jones will take your questions. Please join us for an event that’s sure to offer new perspectives on the rich history of American ornithology.
Signed copies of Bird is the Word will be available to audience members through the Museum’s partnership with Loganberry Books.
