Bird Brother: Dialogue with a Bird Expert & Environmentalist

Rodney Stotts & his birds of prey with Adanna J. Johnson, Healy Circle

Dr. Adanna J. Johnson, Associate Vice President for Student Equity and Inclusion, interviews Rodney Stotts, a falconer and licensed raptor specialist, mentor and youth community leader from SouthEast Washington, D.C. Alongside a live raptor demonstration, book giveaway and free community meal, Stotts will explore how falconry saves the lives of raptors and helps to keep the population healthy while crossing color, socioeconomic and ethnic barriers.  Through his work, he makes the powerful connection between endangered species of all kinds and local youth who must navigate survival in a stressed community. RSVP here for your signed book copy (while supplies last) + vegetarian meal.
