  • The Peregrine Three Rivers Birding Club Newsletter
    The Peregrine Three Rivers Birding Club Newsletter https://www.3rbc.org Vol. 19, No.5 September/October 2020 Field Guides Don’t Just Identify; They Point to the Environment What do field guides do? For a century they have helped observers to identify birds, but they have done something more. 3RBC member Frank Izaguirre will tell us how in his program “Field Guides and Environmental Thinking” at our virtual Zoom meeting online on Wednesday, October 7. Access codes to the virtual meeting will be sent to members in the days before October 7. Access to Zoom will begin at 7:00 PM, giving you time to log on. The business meeting will begin at 7:30, featuring our regular announcements. Frank’s presentation will begin at 8:00. You can connect to the meeting by the Zoom app on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Download a free Zoom app to your device in advance at this website: https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting. At least 85 people watched and/or heard Tessa Rhinehart’s August program, an encouraging response during the gap in our sadly missed in-person gatherings at the Garden Center. Frank will cover major eras of bird identification from books written by pioneering early naturalists such as Audubon to Roger Tory Peterson’s neo- classic field guides to American birds. “The guides have profoundly changed the way people think about the world, and my hope is that after this talk, you will see field guides in a new way as well,” Frank says. He is the Book and Media Reviews Editor for Birding magazine and a Ph.D candidate in English at West Virginia University, where his dissertation examines how field guides have influenced environmental thinking.
