Join us for a new club-within-a-club as we launch the Grand Rapids Audubon Club's Birdy Book Club. We'll kick off the first Birdy Book Club meeting by gathering at Books & Mortar (966 Cherry St. SE, Grand Rapids) to discuss "Better Living Through Birding: Notes from a Black Man in the Natural World" by Christian Cooper.

About the book:
Central Park birder Christian Cooper takes us beyond the viral video that shocked a nation and into a world of avian adventures, global excursions, and the unexpected lessons you can learn from a life spent looking up. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/.../better-living.../
