Last night was the biggest Birds and Beers yet! We had 24 people show up throughout the evening from all over the metro--people from up near Carlos Avery, White Bear Lake, Wayzata, and Woodbury! We had hawk banders, songbird banders, bird and conservation writers, new birders, photographers, mildly interested birders, hardcore birders-- it was a GREAT mix and so much fun to say hi to bird people I know and meet new people.
I want to thank everyone for coming and I hope you had a good time and had a chance to connect to more Minnesota birders. The next two Birds and Beers are scheduled: Cape May, NJ on Friday, October 26, 2007 at 8pm at Jackson Mountain Cafe (may be hard for some MN birders to attend): http://www.capemayafterdark.com/jacksonmt/jacksonmt-cm.htm Minneapolis, MN onThursday, November 29, 2007 at 6pm at Merlin's Rest: http://merlinsrest.com/ Birds and Beers is an informal gathering of people interested in birds to have a chance to connect. Anyone interested in birds is welcome to attend--from the hard core to the beginner to everyone in between. If you want to meet some people, talk some birds and have a beverage or two, this it the place for you. I'm not opposed to moving Birds and Beers around the state (heck, I'm having one in New Jersey). If anyone has an idea of a birding event in a different town that we could combine a Birds and Beers with and knows a bar or restaurant that has a good atmosphere for conversation, please let me know!
