About this Event

Join Peter Cavanagh as he unravels the mysteries of avian flight in a captivating exploration of art and science! Perfect for bird lovers!


In How Birds Fly, Peter Cavanagh accomplishes his goal of unraveling the mystery of bird flight in an accessible way—a way that turns out to be both enjoyable and spectacular. It will interest birders, photographers, students, and anyone wishing to broaden their knowledge of and appreciation for the wonders of the avian world.

This event will include a lively AV presentation with still images and high speed video of birds flying to explain key elements of bird flight. This is designed for all people who love birds and requires no scientific background.

Peter Cavanagh is a scientist, author, and bird photographer who lives in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. He is drawn to the study of bird flight by his experiences as an instrument-rated private pilot, his professional training in anatomy and biomechanics, and his passion for nature and the outdoors.

Peter's images have been featured in the Audubon Society's Top 100 Bird Photographs of the Year. He is the author of 100 FLYING BIRDS: Photographing the Mechanics of Flight and HOW BIRDS FLY: The Science and Art of Avian Flight. He has traveled widely to photograph birds on every continent most recently to India and Bhutan.
