Notes from a Casual Birder: On Jennifer Ackerman’s The Bird Way

Jennifer Ackerman has made a name for herself amongst the general public with her 2016 New York Times bestseller The Genius of Birds where she explored the many ways in which birds of all species use their intelligence to survive and thrive in the natural world. This year, she returned to this same avian world with a new book titled The Bird Way: A New Look at How Birds Talk, Work, Play, Parent, and Think (Penguin Press, 2020).
