Birds and Beers is open to everyone.
You do not need to be registered for the
festival to attend.
The public is welcome.
Birds and Beers is an informal gathering of
birders of all skill levels–if you’re interested
in birds, you’re invited. You can meet other
birders–maybe find a carpool buddy, ask about
where to find target birds, share cool research
projects you might be working on, ask a bird
feeding question, share life lists, share some
digiscoping tips, promote your blog–the sky’s
the limit. It’s low key and it’s fun.
