Please join Nature Guelph, Bird Wing monthly meeting on February 2, 2023 for The Wonder of Birding: An Antidote for Despair by Julia Zarankin.
How does birdwatching help us see the world with more joy? Join author Julia Zarankin as she explores the magic of nature and how appreciating its winged inhabitants–their odd names, strange behaviours, extravagant plumages and hairdos–invariably leads to a greater sense of wonder.
Attend in person at Wild Birds Unlimited or online through Zoom. **Please note that Julia will be joining us online.**

or join us in person at Wild Bird Unlimited (987 Gordon St, Guelph, ON).
