 October 2021\\, Travis Audubon has been offering Let’s Go Birding Toget

  and unassuming fall migrants to subtle winter beauties and stunning summ
 er residents\\, including our unofficial mascot\\, the stunning rainbow-c
 olored Painted Bunting. All walks are queer-led by a knowledgeable birder
 s with Travis Audubon. All experience levels are welcome\\, from those wh
 o are curious about nature to those who have been birding for years. All 
 ages are also welcome\\, from elders to youth (please note that anyone un
