The Friends of Great Falls Discovery Center present Donald Kroodsma on Saturday, January 21 at 1 pm at their headquarters at 2 Avenue A in Turners Falls for a free lecture based on his book Listening to a Continent Sing: Birdsong by Bicycle from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Birdsong expert Donald Kroodsma will discuss his ten week, ten state bicycle journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific, lingering and listening to our continent sing as no one has before. On remote country roads, over terrain vast and spectacular, from dawn to dusk and sometimes through the night, he gained a deep appreciation for the natural symphony of birdsong many of us take for granted. Come along and marvel at how expressive these creatures are as Kroodsma leads you west across nearly 5,000 miles – at a leisurely pace that enables a deep listen.

The program is sponsored in part by a grant from the Montague Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
