Our Keynote Speaker:
Sally Roth

A Whole New World of Birds

Sally Roth, Evansville Courier columnist, lifelong naturalist and gardener, will present “A Whole New World of Birds” on Friday, April 30, 7:00 PM, at Ivy Tech Community College, 3501 N. First Av., Vectren Auditorium.  Free.  Some of her books will be available for purchase and signing following her presentation.  There will also be a reception in her honor. 

The bird scene is changing dramatically across the country and right here at home, thanks to the combined impact of habitat destruction, pesticides, and climate change.  Sally will take a look at why hundreds of species are in decline, and the ways in which many species are changing their habits to adapt.  From catbirds, wrens, and wood warblers at the feeder to earlier hummingbird migration and shifting ranges, it’s a whole new world for birds--and for us.  Find out what we bird lovers (46 million, at last count) can do to help our American birds.  Learn the simple changes we can make at our feeders, in our yards, and in our own lives to help birds thrive.
