Speaker(s): Randi Minetor
Topic: How Birds Created the World and Other Stories
Ancient Egyptians believed the Earth began as an egg laid by a giant goose. Ojibwa people of America’s northern plains tell of a Great Flood that swept away the world’s evils, and the bird that braved the deep waters to bring land up from the bottom to restart the continent. European scientists once believed that geese turned into barnacles and adhered to the bottoms of ships in winter, changing back into geese in spring. In her latest book, The Complete Language of Birds, author Randi Minetor recounts a time when birds seemed like magical beings with the answers for so many of the world’s questions. The Complete Language of Birds is an encyclopedia of classic illustrations, science, folklore, and mythology of over 400 bird species around the world.
Bestselling author Randi Minetor writes the Birdfinding and Best Easy Bird Guides series for Falcon Guides/Globe Pequot Press and is the author of Backyard Birding and Butterfly Gardening for Lyons Press. She writes for Birding Magazine, is a regional report editor for North American Birds, and has served for three years as president of the Rochester Birding Association in New York State.
