Peter Cavanagh will talk about his book How Birds Fly: The Science and Art
of Avian Flight. The book brings the science of avian flight to life in
accessible, common-sense language with almost 400 of his photographs,
illustrations, and diagrams. It includes descriptions of many aspects of
bird flight including evolution, anatomy, aerodynamics, take-off and
landing, in-flight maneuvers and migration. A recent review in The Canadian
Field Naturalist called the book “.…a masterpiece” and “….a wonderful
celebration of birds.”
Peter 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. His images have been featured in the Audubon Society’s Top 100
Bird Photographs of the Year. Peter has traveled widely to photograph birds
on every continent. His work can be found at www.petercavanagh.us and on
