9:30-10:30 am – ‘Voices for the Birds’ by Bridget Stutchbury
Enjoy Audubon’s tradition of early morning birding and breakfast in the barn. Bridget will join the birding and breakfast and then present a special lecture on conservation biology and highlight connections between coffee plantations and birds. She is author of Silence of the Songbirds, and an advocate for conservation that has led to her being called the Rachel Carson of the 21st Century.
She is a professor and Canada Research Chair in Ecology and Conservation Biology at York University, Toronto. Since the 1980s, she has followed songbirds to their wintering grounds in Latin America and back to their breeding grounds in North America to understand their behavior, ecology and conservation.
Lecture: $5 suggested donation.

Meet David Sibley - Bird Artist Extraordinaire
5:30-7:30 pm
First there was Audubon, then Peterson – and today we have Sibley! Join Audubon for a memorable lecture and reception with David Sibley.
David Allen Sibley is a naturalist, birder and artist who has been painting and drawing birds since he was seven years old. He surprised everyone (including himself) when his work of many years was transformed almost overnight into a national bestseller—the fastest-selling bird guide of all time, with more than 600,000 copies in print : THE SIBLEY GUIDE TO BIRDS. People everywhere sang its praises, hailing David Allen Sibley as the heir apparent to John James Audubon. As the New York Times wrote: “Once in a great while, a natural history book changes the way people look at the world. . . . In 1838, Audubon’s Birds of America was one, and in 1934, Roger Tory Peterson produced Birds of North America…. Now comes The Sibley Guide to Birds, an encyclopedic illustrated guide to the birds of North America.” Sibley followed up this book with THE SIBLEY GUIDE TO BIRD LIFE & BEHAVIOR – a book Time magazine called “A treasure of valuable information.” David Sibley has created a new landmark in bird guides. Most recently he has completed THE SIBLEY GUIDE TO TREES which will be published by Knopf in late August 2009.
Sibley books will be available in the store.
$20 per person includes refreshments.
