[SEMCO] Osprey Lecture with David Gessner

[Sheri DeRosa]

An Osprey Odyssey: Author David Gessner on his Recent Book
Join us on July 26 when author David Gessner will discuss his book, 
"Soaring with Fidel: An Osprey Odyssey from Cape Cod to Cuba and 
Beyond," an irreverent, absorbing, and insightful tale of one man's 
adventures following the great 7,000-mile osprey migration across two 
continents. A Kirkus review of the book says: "Gessner's account is 
filled with nitty-gritty details about the days and nights of an 
itinerant birder and beautifully detailed descriptions of ospreys in 
action. When actual observations were not possible, he imagined what the 
ospreys were doing and writes intelligently of that. In the final 
chapter, while summering on Cape Cod, Gessner learned that Fidel had 
been tracked back to Martha's Vineyard, and it was there that he got to 
see his special bird. A grand adventure, not just for birders and nature 
lovers." The author will also sign copies of his book following the 
presentation. Copies will be available for purchase. Lecture will take 
place at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 26, 2007, in Redfield Auditorium, 
Water Street, Woods Hole. Admission is free. Sponsored by the Woods Hole 
Library (508-548-8961) and Woods Hole Sea Grant (508-289-2398).
