Journey of a Thousand Lifers: A Global Birding Adventure @ Heller Nature Center | Highland Park | Illinois | United States

In 2020 Bill Volkert, a longtime Wisconsin DNR naturalist at Horicon Marsh, published his book Journey of a Thousand Lifers documenting the 55,000-mile, eight-month birding and wildlife journey that he and his wife Connie took through 12 countries from southern Africa to India and Southeast Asia. In the process, they sighted more than 1,300 species of birds and over a thousand lifers, taking some 35,000 pictures along the way.

This program will be in person at Heller Nature Center.
