Pigeon Watching: Getting to Know the World’s Most Misunderstood Bird

Virtual Program

Join us for the third lecture of the 2022 Compelling Voices season!

Rock pigeons are much maligned and overlooked, but they're secretly fascinating, with a drama-rich 5000+-year-long history of domestication. Join author and cartoonist Rosemary Mosco to learn the secrets of pigeons - from milk to genetics to romance.

All are welcome to attend this free event but RSVP is required.

About the series:

Compelling Voices in Birding and Conservation is a joint program series from Chicago Ornithological Society, Chicago Audubon Society, and Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. Now in it’s fifth year, this special series features unique speakers with very different backgrounds and often under-represented voices. Join us for energizing and engaging presentations from speakers from across the country and spanning expertise throughout the world of bird watching, conservation, and environmental issues.
