Point Reyes Books

The study of deep bird language is an ancient discipline, perfected by native peoples the world over. Finally, science is catching up. Join birder, tracker, and naturalist Jon Young for a presentation and nature walk as he unites indigenous knowledge, scientific research, and his four decades of experience to lead us toward a deeper connection to animals and, in the end, a deeper connection to ourselves. Bring a bag lunch to enjoy in the field. Children welcome for this four-hour event.

What the Robin Knows is a rich narrative that will be of interest not just to birders, but to anyone who wants to feel at home in nature. Jon Young was mentored from the age of 10 as a naturalist, tracker, and survivalist in a Native American tradition, where he learned how native cultures help their children understand and connect with the natural world. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
