The Springs Historical Society is pleased to welcome guest curator Donna Corvi to the Springs Community Library.  Small Natural Wonders presents the work of Springs artists who, in their distinctive styles, have captured the mystery and unique beauty that surrounds us each day.
 

In these works, the artists have observed, reacted to, interpreted and/or imagined the world’s small, natural wonders. These range from intricate, often overlooked details of the earth's ecosystem — think glistening dew drops or a spiderweb — to love, to majestic mountains, and even abstract thoughts. Small wonders, big ideas, all painted in a small format — 12” or less.

StoryShare takes on a different meaning.

​

A birder for the last 10 years, Paula not only travels for hopeful sightings of maybe a hoopoe in Ireland, but in her own neighborhood has seen a rare lazuli bunting and glossy ibis (pictured above), to name but two.

We hear them trilling all the time but too rarely know what type of bird is behind the warbling – are they complaining or crooning?

Come learn from Paula

• how and when to find birding hotspots

• create a bird haven in your own yard

• get to know the avian habitat of the Hamptons

As she would be the first to tell you: t’s all about waking up early and getting the worm. (fortunately for those like me, we’ll meet at 5:30 PM not AM) 

This StoryShare will be different in that the evening will be dedicated to the lecture and photos HOWEVER

Everyone is welcome to casually share what bird stories they have with the group at the end of the presentation.

I look forward to seeing you all again!

Step away from the market across the street and give everyone a chance to lose themselves in the wonderful world of story books.
