This month’s program will showcase Daniel Bernard’s year of birding across America. In 2025, Daniel Bernard embarked on a birding journey as crazy as it was unique: a quest to travel the entire country and see 100 species of birds in every single lower-48 state, meet up with local birders all across the country, and visit birding locales both legendary and unknown. This life-changing journey to explore the "People, Places, and Birds" of the American birding world saw Daniel living out of the back of his Subaru Crosstrek and would be filled with hardships and setbacks, but in the end - after travelling the farthest south, east, north, and west he'd ever been, birding with over 300 different birders across the country, and tallying 607 different species ─ Daniel would accomplish his goal of becoming perhaps the first person ever to see 100 species in every lower-48 state in a single year.Growing up the son of an avid birder and naturalist, Daniel Bernard has held a lifelong enthusiasm for biology and nature, but the particular passion of birding eluded him for most of his life. After finally caving and accompanying his dad to the Biggest Week in American Birding Festival at Magee Marsh in 2018, Daniel quickly took to the hobby with an obsessive passion, and in 2022 set out to do a Michigan "Big Year" during which he recorded 337 species in Michigan.We hope you'll join us on Monday, April 27th, at People's Church, 1758 North 10th Street, Kalamazoo. This program is geared to all audiences, and we enthusiastically invite families and nature lovers of any age to join us! Come at 6:30 PM (new time – half an hour earlier this year) for some refreshments and socializing. Snacks and beverages will be provided. It's helpful if you bring your own coffee cup. The one-hour program will start at 7:00 PM. Handicap parking and access is at either the front or the rear entrance of the building.We will have a simultaneous Zoom link to the meeting for those who can’t make it or feel uncomfortable as yet to attend in person.
