Our presenter, Monica Bryand, will have birds of Minnesota photographs to share — and will tell us about some great birding spots around the state.

Her organization, the Urban Bird Collective, supports birdwatchers of all different skill levels for walks in our own neighborhoods. They are working to create a welcoming and inclusive space for all communities to come out and explore birding and the outdoors.

This organization wants all communities, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and the LGBTQ Communities and more, to feel the benefits of being out in natural green spaces in our neighborhoods and beyond. They are passionate about bird watching and the protection of the environment. See https://urbanbirdcollective.org/.
