If you’re a birder you’ve probably heard of David Sibley whose excellent field guides are illustrated with his own art work. I’m particularly fond of his Sibley Guide to Birds, Sibley Guide to Trees, and the Sibley Birds app on my cellphone. (Can you tell I’m addicted?)
We’ll get a chance to meet David Sibley when he comes to Pittsburgh for two events on July 14: a dinner hosted by Audubon of Western Pennsylvania (ASWP) and his lecture at Pittsburgh Arts and Lectures.
Attend only the dinner or both dinner+lecture by signing up at the ASWP website:
Member Banquet and an Evening with David Sibley, July 14 starting at 5 pm. Click here to attend.
Dinner and the awards presentation will be held at St. Nicholas Church in Oakland and David Sibley will speak at Carnegie Museum of Natural History, right across the street. The event starts at 5 pm with dinner served at 5:30 pm. Tickets are $50 each and include a copy of Sibley’s newest book.
Attend only the lecture by signing up at Pittsburgh Arts and Lectures:
Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures and Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh present David Sibley
Thursday, July 14, 2016, 7 pm at Carnegie Lecture Hall, 4400 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, 15213

Don’t miss it.

Hi Kate
Last night’s David Sibley lecture was so interesting. A great program.
I paid at the door and all the books were sold out. I’m on my way to get his guide to birds now.
So glad I went! Thank you for the heads up on this event. Wish there were more like this.
Glad you liked it, Rose. He’s a good teacher isn’t he!
