Rick Wright will present "How and Why to Start Birding"
What is that bird? How can I figure it out? Does this seem impossible? Get
started or improve your birding skills while learning how birding
contributes to the sciences and informs political decisions.
Dr. Wright, a native of southeast Nebraska, studied French,
German, philosophy and life sciences at the University of Nebraska. He also
worked in the bird collections of the State Museum and served as teaching
assistant to Paul Johnsgard. After a detour to Harvard Law School, Dr.
Wright took the M.A. and Ph.D. in German at Princeton University. His years
as an academic included appointments as Assistant Professor of German at the
University of Illinois, Reader at Princeton University's Index of Christian
Art, and Associate Professor of German and medieval studies at Fordham
University. Among his scholarly publications are two books on the Latin and
German animal literature of the late Middle Ages. He is also the author of
the American Birding Association's field guides to birds of New Jersey and
of Arizona and of the forthcoming Peterson Reference Guide to North American
sparrows. A prolific contributor to the birding literature and a
sought-after lecturer, Dr. Wright lives in NJ with his wife Alison Beringer,
and their chocolate lab Gellert.
