SUMMARY:Wingspan Game Event - Sunday\, June 28 at Whitney Center
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of playing Wingspan\, the board game focused on birds! For players new to Wingspan\, we will offer an introduction to the game and a guided playing experience. Players already familiar with Wingspan are welcome to set up independent games. \nThe game is played over four rounds\, which involve different “actions” of acquiring foods and bird cards\, laying eggs\, and playing bird cards on a player mat. Players get points by reaching short-term and long-term goals\, and the player with the most points at the end of round four wins! A four-round game takes 1-2 hours. If you are interested in learning more about the rules\, you will find more information here. \nThe NHBC has a number of base sets of the game\, but feel free to bring your own game as well. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nOrganizer: Ann Meacham\, Annm@newhavenbirdclub.org

SUMMARY:Book Club - Monday\, June 29\, 2026 at Mitchell Library\, New Haven
DESCRIPTION:The “Birds in Words” book club will meet on Monday\, June 29\, 2026 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm at the Mitchell Library in New Haven. \nFeel free to bring snacks to enjoy and share! \nThe club will discuss Lorna Gibson’s Birds Up Close: An Engineer Explores Their Hidden Wonders. \nA renowned engineer and lifelong birder reveals the marvel of how birds work—from the tips of their beaks to the sheen of their tailfeathers. \nWith over 150 full-color illustrations\, a unique gift book for everyone from the avid birder to the bird beginner. \nConsider feathers: They define birds’ wings\, enabling flight. They insulate against cold. They repel water. They even control sound. And how feathers work is just one aspect of the wonders of birds explained by pathbreaking researcher and birder Lorna Gibson in Birds Up Close. \nFeathers\, bones\, bills\, eggs\, flight: all come in for scrutiny in this engaging book. What produces the iridescence of plumage? How does the internal structure of a bird’s bones make them lightweight? How do different birds use their bills and tongues—from woodpeckers penetrating the holes they drill to hummingbirds imbibing nectar\, to sandpipers needling the sand\, and to phalaropes drawing water droplets containing plankton into their mouths without sucking (no lips!)? \nDrawing on her expertise and personal experience in both engineering and ornithology\, the author explores the hidden microscopic structures and engineering principles that keep birds aloft and alive—how an egg is formed\, how a bird generates lift; how raptors soar and glide\, albatrosses fly thousands of miles\, hummingbirds hover\, puffins and penguins “fly” underwater. She also considers the longer view of birds in their habitats and natural history. Her up-close look at avian mysteries provides a perspective like no other for the expert ornithologist and curious observer alike. \nAny questions\, contact Craig Repasz at craigr@newhavenbirdclub.org.
