A Love Affair with Birds: the Life of Thomas Sadler Roberts by Sue Leaf

Thursday, May 2, 6:30 p.m., Free with Museum Admission

Love_Affair_withBirdsAuthor Sue Leaf visits the Bell in celebration of the launch of her latest novel, A Love Affair with Birds, the first full biography of Thomas Sadler Roberts, the father of Minnesota ornithology. Roberts had deep ties to the Bell as a longtime former director of the Museum, and key participant in the museum's founding efforts.

Leaf will read from the book and sign copies, as well as lead a short wallkabout of a few select dioramas accompanied by Bell Museum curator Don Luce.
