Virtual: Author Heather Wolf Discusses the Colors of Birds – Beauty and/or Evolutionary Advantage?

September 8@7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join Heather Wolf, author of Find More Birds and Birding at the Bridge, as she shares her beautiful images of colorful birds.  We’ll discuss the birds, their colors, and the purpose of their colorful feathers, as well as evolutionary advantages they may have because of their plumage.  We hope you can join us for another great discussion!

This virtual program is brought to you by the Bacon Free Library in collaboration with a multitude of MA & NH libraries, and is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library.
