SUMMARY:Book Club - Monday\, September 28\, 2026 at Mitchell Library\, New Haven
DESCRIPTION:The “Birds in Words” book club will meet on Monday\, September 28\, 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 Feather Wars: And The Great Crusade to Save America’s Birds by James H. McCommons. \n“A definitive history of bird conservation in America.” (Kirkus Reviews\, starred)\n\nFrom the time the country was founded\, early Americans assumed that the land’s natural resources were infinite\, including its birds\, which were zealously hunted for food\, game\, and fashion. With the rapid extinction of the passenger pigeon―a bird once so numerous that its flocks darkened the sky in flight―many realized actions needed to be taken if other birds were to be saved. What followed was both a spiritual awakening and a great crusade to save birds and their habitat. The campaign took place on many battlefields: society teas in Boston\, hunt clubs on the East Coast\, the mangroves in the Everglades\, and in the editorial pages of newspapers and periodicals. From many corners of the country the bird protection movement was born and brought together a remarkable coalition of people and organizations to save America’s birds. \nThe Feather Wars is an entertaining and expansive work of American history\, an incredible story about how disparate characters―progressive politicians\, free-thinking society belles\, nature writers and artists\, bird-loving U.S. presidents\, gunmakers\, business titans\, and brave game wardens―came together to save hundreds of species of birds. Heroes\, martyrs\, villains\, and conflicted do-gooders―the early bird conservation movement had them all. Together they transformed how Americans thought and cared about birds\, forever altering the American landscape. \nAny questions\, contact Craig Repasz at craigr@newhavenbirdclub.org.
