The science of connecting has many new studies that tell us everyday encounters with birds result in less stress\, anxiety and depression. The profound value of connecting with birds and nature provides personal health and wellness benefits\, a greater appreciation and understanding of the creatures we share the planet with\, and fosters a desire to protect and conserve that which we love\, she says. \nLillian is an award-winning coauthor (with her late husband Don) and photographer of 35 Stokes Guides\, which have sold more than 6 million copies nationwide. Her latest guide is The Stokes Guide to Finches of the United States and Canada with coauthor Matthew A. Young\, which The American Birding Association chose as one of the Best Bird Books of 2024. She was also a producer\, videographer\, and co-host of two national PBS bird-watching TV series that were seen by about 40 million viewers. For more than 35 years\, she has educated the birding public\, giving keynote talks at birding festivals and organizations nationwide. \n“What\,” she asks “is the spark that ignites the fire that becomes the destiny of human-nature bonding? What is the moment in time and space\, like the long football pass that becomes the touchdown\, when you know in your soul you connect and are hooked?” URL:https://weru.org/event/people-nature-art-with-bird-author-lillian-stokes/ LOCATION:Wendell Gilley Museum\, 4 Herrick Road\, Southwest Harbor\, ME\, 04679\, United States CATEGORIES:Art Show,Community Event,Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://weru.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/lillian.png ORGANIZER;CN="Wendell Gilley Museum":MAILTO:info@wendellgilleymuseum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261010T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261010T160000 DTSTAMP:20260911T201140Z CREATED:20260911T201140Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260911T201140Z UID:10004962-1791640800-1791648000@weru.org SUMMARY:Artist Siri Beckman in Conversation with Carl Little DESCRIPTION:Join artist Siri Beckman\, whose work is now in the Gilley’s Special Gallery\, in conversation with poet and arts writer Carl Little in this special event at the Museum on Saturday\, Oct. 3\, from 2 to 4pm.
