One of the few benefits of the COVID-19 age is the ability to enjoy a wide range of programs, classes, and conferences from the comfort of your home. Black Hills Audubon currently offers a monthly speaker and Birds and Brew (a social time to visit with other birders). There is so much more out there. Carla Miller will be searching other Audubon chapters to find programs that are of interest to our members and posting them in the Echo. Pre-registration is often required so be sure to take note of that. Carla’s first offering is:
