The next Zoom Membership Meeting will be Wednesday, July 8th. The topic will be “The Real James Bond”, presented by Jim Wright. Ornithologist James Bond was a noted naturalist/adventurer who wrote the landmark Birds of the West Indies -- and the victim of the world’s most famous identity theft.
Jim Wright, author of the lavishly illustrated new biography “The Real James Bond,” will talk about Bond’s book, his birds, his solo expeditions to the Caribbean, and his connection to Ian Fleming and 007. Might be a little spy talk, too. Via Zoom.
In his spare time, Jim writes “The Bird Watcher” column for the Bergen Record and other Gannett newspapers in NJ, spies on birds, and serves as a marsh warden at the Celery Farm Nature Preserve.
