In Person/Zoom Event: Birding for Boomers – and Everyone Else
May 22 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
On Thursday, May 22nd, award-winning author and birder Sneed B. Collard III will share the often humorous journey that led to him becoming an avid birder later in life. After graduating with a degree in Marine Biology from UC Berkeley, Collard embarked on a career of writing for children, focusing on scientific and environmental topics. While always interested in birds, he didn’t fully embrace birding as a passion until working on his children’s book Fire Birds – Valuing Natural Wildfires and Burned Forests, when he and his ten-year-old son began learning more about the birds of western Montana. Since then, Collard has birded extensively both in the U.S. and abroad and wrote the bestselling book Birding for Boomers – and Everyone Else Brave Enough to Embrace the World’s Most Rewarding and Frustrating Activity.
Sneed B. Collard III is the author of more than one hundred books for children and adults, including the award-winning picture book Border Crossings. As well as his degree in Marine Biology, he earned a Master’s in Scientific Instrumentation at UCSB. His favorite topics include natural wildfires, invasive species, and habitat restoration. He is a regular contributor to Bird Watcher’s Digest, Montana Outdoors, and other magazines and speaks widely to birding groups, educators, and students of all ages. He and his son Braden are co-authors of the birding blog FatherSonBirding.com.
