MORNING BIRDWATCHING ︎︎︎ STARTS AT 9:30AM
JUNE 3RD, SMITH + BYBEE
if you’ve never "gone birding" before, now is your chance!!!
if you have watched a bird before, come and do it again!!!
we will all wake up not too early, but a little bit early, to look around for winged critters. we might
name them, we might laugh at their antics, we might go awwwwwww. we won't walk too far or
too fast. this is a family-friendly, beginner-friendly, bedhead-friendly kinda thing.
we can bring some coffee to put that extra pep in your step and we always have binoculars to
share...
