Teaneck Creek Conservancy and Teaneck Public Library are hosting a special author visit: A Conversation with Ryan Goldberg, author of Bird City: Adventures in New York’s Urban Wilds.

About Bird City: Adventures in New York’s Urban Wilds

Journalist Ryan Goldberg takes readers on a yearlong journey through all five boroughs of New York City, revealing the surprising abundance of birdlife thriving amid skyscrapers and subways. Inspired by his own “spark bird” moment, Goldberg explores how more than 400 species migrate through the city each year - more than in Yellowstone - and introduces the passionate community of urban birders who follow them. Both informative and uplifting, Bird City invites readers to slow down, look up, and discover the wild wonders hidden in plain sight.

Join us for an optional walk at 6:30 to appreciate the park at dusk and then we’ll duck inside for the book discussion at 7pm.

We all live on nature’s doorstep, but we often overlook it. From backyards to local parks, the natural places we see the most may well be the ones we know the least. In Close to Home, biologist Thor Hanson shows how retraining our eyes reveals hidden wonders just waiting to be discovered. Close to Home is a hands-on natural history for any local patch of Earth. It shows that we each can contribute to science and improve the health of our planet. And even more, it proves that the wonders of nature don’t lie in some far-off they await us, close to home.
