Fall Bird Walks at Fenner

Please join fellow CAAS members for our fall migration bird walks at Fenner Nature Center. Birders will meet at the parking lot at 9:00 am and disperse in groups of 10 for a walk around the property. Please wear a mask, and observe social distancing practices.

Walks will be lead by Bob Kingsbury.

Do not attend the walks if you feel sick, are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or have been in personal contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19.

Fall Meeting Format Change

Meetings will be held online via Zoom this fall.
The first two months will be a bit of a trial, and if we have enough interest and people attending, we will continue after the first few months, but if they are poorly attended we will likely not hold any additional virtual meetings until we can meet in person.
