Our in-person location will be in/near Lowville – stay tuned for details! We are a friendly, informal group who like to read mostly (but not only) non-fiction books about animals, natural history, cultural history and environmental issues happening in or applicable to the Tug Hill region. The Tug Hill Book club meets at 6 pm on the fourth Thursday of every other month beginning in March. We alternate gathering locations between a Watertown and Lowville site for each gathering. All meetings are hybrid so all can attend in whatever way works best for them – location directions and an online link is provided to all prior to each meeting. Two books are suggested for each discussion. Members can choose to read one or both books based on their interest and reading time available. Join in when you’d like for whatever books you’d like – there’s no pressure to read for every gathering. Readers are responsible for obtaining a copy of the books themselves (any form – paper, online, audio, etc.) We also have a Tug Hill Book and Beverage Club Facebook group for between-meeting discussions and announcements through Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust. Check it out if you’re on Facebook! For May 28th, we’re reading: 1) Vulture: The Private Life of an Unloved Bird After reading this book you will never look at a vulture in the same way again. Vulture follows a year in the life of a typical North American turkey vulture. By incorporating information from scientific papers and articles, as well as interviews with world-renowned raptor and vulture experts, author Katie Fallon examines all aspects of the bird’s natural history: breeding, incubating eggs, raising chicks, migrating, and roosting. 2) Better Living Through Birding: Notes from a Black Man in the Natural World Christian Cooper is a self-described “Blerd” (Black nerd), an avid comics fan and expert birder who devotes every spring to gazing upon the migratory birds that stop to rest in Central Park, just a subway ride away from where he lives in New York City. Better Living Through Birding recounts his experiences at home and around the world, conveying his story of learning to claim and defend space for himself and others like him through vivid and life-changing birding expeditions through Africa, Australia, the Americas, and the Himalayas.
