CFO's Dead of Winter Knowledge Quest aka our Speaker Series continues on Thursday, February 20th with Jared Del Rosso looking at a threatened family of birds - nightjars.
With their famous songs and nocturnal lives, nightjars are among the most iconic birds in the U.S. For centuries, they've shaped our songs, poetry, and literature. For many of us, nightjars, like Eastern Whip-poor-wills and Common Nighthawks, also root us in the places we call home. But despite their importance, nightjar numbers are declining. Most birders sense this, as it's becoming more and more difficult to see and hear them.
Based on research for his in-progress book on Whip-poor-wills, cultural sociologist Jared Del Rosso takes you behind the legend, lore, and lives of America's nightjars. By relearning these, Del Rosso hopes we might deepen our connections to local landscapes and cultural histories of this family of birds.
