March 7: Birds and Books with Bernd Heinrich
The San Diego Audubon Society presents Birds and Books at Living Coast Discovery Center, as part of their 19th Annual San Diego Bird Festival. The talk, by Bernd Heinrich, author of The Homing Instinct, will take place at the Living Coast on Saturday, March 7th from 1:00-2:30 p.m. Birds and Books is free with admission to the Living coast and admissions for Bird Festival attendees are 50% off for this event.

The Homing Instinct will be available for purchase at the event. From Amazon.com: Heinrich explores the fascinating science chipping away at the mysteries of animal migration: how geese imprint true visual landscape memory; how scent trails are used by many creatures, from fish to insects to amphibians, to pinpoint their home if they are displaced from it; and how the tiniest of songbirds are equipped for solar and magnetic orienteering over vast distances.
