On Thursday February 4th at 6:30 PM, the Green Mountain Audubon Society will be welcoming Maeve Kim in the first virtual installment (after an unexpected issue with the Zoom meeting on 1/21) of the long-awaited, four part, New Birder Series! A lot has changed in the past 11 months and many people have turned to birding as their preferred pandemic pastime.

But, what's all the excitement about? Why are so many people watching birds these days? The answer? Beauty! Nature! Stress-reduction! Lower blood pressure! Improved attention and focus! Forest therapy! There are more and more reasons why so many people, young and old, are taking to the fields, woods and beaches to watch birds. In this class, you will learn about some of the basics of birdwatching: how to get started, what equipment you might need, and what the benefits might be to you.

A world of birds and birding awaits and we hope to see you there!
