<p>A new book I’m reading emphasizes the word watching in the expression bird watching. As in: Don’t be in such a hurry to merely note that you’ve seen a bird, but instead really have a close look at what it’s doing, and discover the facts of its life. The book is called <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/667563/slow-birding-by-joan-e-strassmann/">"Slow Birding</a>," and its author is here today to talk about how to be a slow birder, and about some of the species she profiles in the book.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://biology.wustl.edu/people/joan-strassmann">Joan Strassman</a> is a specialist in animal behavior who is a professor of biology at Washington University in St Louis. She is also now the author of "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Slow-Birding-Science-Enjoying-Backyard/dp/0593329929">Slow Birding: The Art and Science of Enjoying the Birds in Your Own Backyard</a>."</p>
