In his book, Dominic Sherony, writes about how birds are fascinating creatures.  His talk will highlight two topics: what was involved in producing this book, and some background stories related to topics in the book. These brief stories will include the nature history of birds, the advent of modern birds, adaptation, iridescence, nests, diversity and the need for habitat conservation. 

Dominic was born and raised in northern Illinois, attended University of Detroit and completed graduate degrees at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chemical Engineering. He took up bird watching as a hobby in 1972 and have been an active birder since, with many and varied interests in birding including leading local trips, has written numerous papers about birds, and volunteers presently at a nature park.
