Best Birds And Beers Yet!

Last night was the biggest Birds and Beers yet! We had 24 people show up throughout the evening from all over the metro--people from up near Carlos Avery, White Bear Lake, Wayzata, and Woodbury! We had hawk banders, songbird banders, bird and conservation writers, new birders, photographers, mildly interested birders, hardcore birders--it was a GREAT mix and so much fun to say hi to bird people I know and bird people I just met.

Frequent commenter Hellziggy was there and even took a photo of me with the new Disapproving Rabbits book. Thanks HZ!

The next two Birds and Beers are scheduled:

Cape May, NJ on Friday, October 26, 2007 at 8pm at Jackson Mountain Cafe
Minneapolis, MN onThursday, November 29, 2007 at 6pm at Merlin's Rest

I just realized that I'm going to be in Harlingen, TX for the Rio Grande Valley Bird Fest November 7 - 11 and could schedule a Birds and Beers there. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know. If anyone has any ideas for a Birds and Beers anywhere, any town, please let me know.


Birds and Beers is an informal gathering of people interested in birds to have a chance to connect. Anyone interested in birds is welcome to attend--from the hard core to the beginner to everyone in between. If you want to meet some people, talk some birds and have a beverage or two, this it the place for you.

Yes, but isn't that a private party, something to be invited to? Do we want to open up the home to the internet for a party.
