Long Island Reads Book Discussion - Better Living Through Birding

Join us as we discuss Better Living Through Birding by Christian Cooper. This is the story of Christian Cooper’s extraordinary life leading up to the now infamous incident in Central Park and shows how a life spent looking up at the birds prepared him, in the most uncanny of ways, to be a gay, Black man in America today. From sharpened senses that work just as well at a protest as in a park to what a bird like the Common Grackle can teach us about self-acceptance, Better Living Through Birding exults in the pleasures of a life lived in pursuit of the natural world and invites you to discover them yourself.
