I hope to explore and share my own birding experiences in the outdoors and what they have taught me about loneliness, connection, and kinship. The seemingly simple act of birding has left me joyful and in awe of the world. It has also made me deeply uncomfortable about the questions it brings up about disconnection and inaccessibility.

Events and activities are mostly free and open to all. Register soon!
