I am pleased to announce that I will be giving a sneak preview of  The Screech Owl Companion at the Meadowlands Birding Festival on Sunday (Oct. 1) at 2 p.m.

I'll also have a special guest, Tilly the Eastern Screech Owl (see photo above, by Sam Pettigrew). She'll stop by with her colleague, Rosetta Arrigo of the Flat Rock Brook Nature Center.

The free all-day festival also includes live raptor shows, children’s activities, live music and guided walks at some of the best birding spots in the region.

Advance copies of The Screech Owl Companion and my other books will be available for sale and signing before and after.
