The Chapel Hill Bird Club will hold its regular monthly meeting on Monday, 22 January 2018 at 7:30 p.m. at Binkley Baptist Church in Chapel Hill. The featured speaker is Nathan Swick, who will present on The Field Guide in the Digital Age, an Evolution.

The field guide is one of the most indispensable tools in the birder’s toolbox, but the form has changed over the years as birders’ needs have changed. From Audubon to Peterson to Sibley to the digital realm, we’ll take a look at what works, what doesn’t, and why. Nate Swick, author of the ABA Field Guide to Birds of the Carolinas, shares some of his own experiences in creating a field guide, and what he learned about this essential item.
