<p class="MsoNormal">Our Library hosted Greg Bodker and his program, "Let's Get Birding!" last night and it was an enormous success. I would absolutely recommend him for any Michigan library. He has birded in all 83 counties in Michigan and tailors each presentation
for the locals, including nearby birding hotspots and wonderfully helpful handouts for participants. His enthusiasm is reason enough to book him - he can make anyone feel inspired to get outside to see birds and he has all sorts of amusing stories to share
during his programs. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://backyardbirdsandbeyond.com/">His website is here</a> if you are interested; he mentioned last night that he is open for booking in 2024. His programs run between $400-450 for an individual library. You can reach out to
him via his website or at <a href="mailto:backyardbirdsandbeyond@gmail.com">backyardbirdsandbeyond@gmail.com</a>. As Greg would say, keep 'em flying!<o:p></o:p></p>
