Events

I am thrilled to give a talk to the bird studies group at the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club. I’ll be talking about the importance of loving our common birds!

I am so excited to return to the Speakers Annex, at the Miles Nadal JCC in Toronto. Join me for a talk about…Russian nesting dolls! The surprising and wonderful history of matryoshka dolls — everyone’s favorite tchotchke and souvenir! You can get tickets here.

Join me and one of my favorite writers, the illustrious Kerry Clare, in conversation about her brilliant new novel, Definitely Thriving. Join us at 6:30pm (371 Queen Street W.) for what promises to be a really fun chat!

I’m excited to be returning to Point Pelee National Park for their Festival of the Birds. I’ll be giving a talk and co-leading a walk. Stay tuned for more info.

I’ll be giving a keynote talk at the Creston Valley Bird Festival in Creston, BC & I’ll also be leading a birdwalk.
