Birding Workshop at SEVA May 9

SOUTH KORTRIGHT – A birding workshop will be held  May 9 from 8-11 a.m. at SEVA Foundation, 365 Seva Lane, South Kortright.

This workshop, co-sponsored by the John Burroughs Natural History Society, will introduce various aspects of birding. Once referred to as birdwatching, birding is an activity that is challenging as a personal “sport,” as well as a mode of grounding one's Spirit with Nature.

Register by May 2 by calling Jed (8545) 679-5177. The workshop is by donation.
