Enjoy a lovely spring evening discussing our latest choice for our Book Chat-“Flight Behavior” by Barbara Kingsolver. The book chat will be facilitated Pat Fountain, a long time retired educator and world traveler!
The review on Amazon.com says “Flight Behavior is a brilliant and suspenseful novel set in present day Appalachia, a breathtaking parable of catastrophe and denial that explores how the complexities we encounter in life lead us to believe in our particular chosen truth. Kingsolver’s novel concerns a young wife and mother on a failing farm in rural Tennessee who experiences something she cannot explain, and how her discovery energizes various competing factions-religious leaders, climate scientists, environmentalists, politicians-trapping her in the center of the conflict and ultimately opening up her world.”

Join Naturalist Corey Hagen and members of the Tennessee Ornithological Society on a birding hike around the Reflection Riding property.

We will be counting birds and keeping checklists of what we see on the hike. Hikes will occur unless there is severe weather in the area.
