The Mid-Coast Audubon‘s series of nature talks in partnership with the Camden Public Library continues on Thursday, October 17, at 6:30 PM with a presentation from Matthew Young all about The Stokes Guide to Finches, which he co-authored with Lillian Stokes.
From backyards to wilderness peaks, finches are some of the most exciting, mysterious, and popular group of songbirds. Finch expert Matthew Young will introduce you to the 43 finches of the United States and Canada from feeder-favorite goldfinches to Red Crossbill tribes, to least known mountain-top Black Rosy-Finches to endangered Hawaiian honeycreepers.
The new book he co-authored, The Stokes Guide to Finches of the United States and Canada covers detailed finch identification, language, behavior, irruptions, specialized maps and foraging charts on crossbills, how to conserve finches, and much more. Infused throughout with quotes from the creative Quick Take chapter intros, filled with interesting facts, scientific knowledge, and stunning photos, this book will leave you understanding so much more about the finches you thought you knew.
