We’re excited to invite you to join the Boxborough Birders Birding Book Club for their first meeting at Fivesparks as part of the exciting Birds! exhibit!

The Boxborough Birders Birding Book Club carries the theme of Birds and Birding books.  For this special meeting, the book to discuss is The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan. 

This is not only a book about birding but also a reflection on human experience and the beauty of nature.  It encourages readers to observe and appreciate the world around them, even in the most mundane and seemingly uninteresting aspects.  

The book’s themes and content can lead to engaging discussions about the following questions:

• How do you approach birding and nature observation? What makes it enjoyable and meaningful to you?
• What personal experiences have you had with birds? How have they impacted your life?
• How do you think the book’s themes of curiosity, observation, and connection to nature can be applied in your
   daily life?
• What are some of the most significant bird memories you have? How do they relate to your life and experiences?
• How can birding help you understand and appreciate the natural world and its inhabitants?

These discussion questions can help readers connect with the book’s themes and deepen their understanding of the impact of birding on their lives and the world around them. 

This event is FREE to attend, but please register HERE so we can plan accordingly. 

The Birds! curated art exhibit as well as the corresponding bird-related events and programs were planned in partnership with the Boxborough Birders Group. 

Tuesday, April 28th, 6pm.
