The Nasketucket Bird Club will host “Investigating the Footsteps of a Birder: Elisabeth Goddard Weeks,” presented by Mike LaBossiere, on Wednesday, November 18, at 6:30 pm at the Marion Natural History Museum, 8 Spring St., Marion.
Join Mike as he continues to sift through the fascinating clues left in a journal once owned by Elisabeth Goddard Weeks, a birder from our own area. Through her writings, we’ll explore her life with birds, her interests, her travels, and how her life and journal intersect with Mike’s own birding journey.
What can a century-old journal tell us about the birds, birding traditions and natural history of our region? Come along as we piece together the story of a birder whose footsteps may be closer to home than you think.
