I’m so sorry we didn’t know about this until after the fact. Rebecca at Keweenaw Storytelling Center told me about it when she stopped by the shop this afternoon! We LOVE birding, ya gotta let us know in person next time! Miss Anne used to do the Massachusetts Audubon Bird-A-Thon! Folks, if you still love a real-honest-to-goodness-physical-book bird guide, we’ve got you! Meanwhile, it sounds like things are continuing this evening at Beviamo Wine & Cocktail Lounge. Enjoy!
