William Brewster (1851-1919) co-founded the American Ornithologists Union and gifted a lifetime of bird observations to Harvard — now his journals come to life. Birdwatcher and sound artist Dianne Ballon presents readings from Brewster's New England field notes, joined by Harvard archivists and a Maine historian. Presented in Mather Auditorium and live-streamed via Zoom; no registration required in person.
