Early Birds Book Club
The Early Birds is a drop-in book club that meets on the fourth Sunday of each month. The group meets in person at Manuel's Tavern, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM when Birds Georgia is holding an in-person meeting at Manuel's Tavern. The group meets virtually on Zoom when there is not an in-person meeting. There is no commitment other than to enjoy reading and sharing books about birds and birding. Feel free to join us even if you have not read the book!
Upcoming event:
Sunday, June 28, at 2:00 PM (in person at Manuel's Tavern) The Early Birds will meet in-person prior to the member meeting to learn the fundamentals of Wingspan, one of the most widely played board games worldwide. Designed by Elizabeth Hargrave and released in 2019, the game has become a global favorite among birders, scientists, nature enthusiasts, and board game enthusiasts. If you’ve bought or received the game as a gift, opened it, read the instructions, then put it away as too complicated, let the Early Birds lead you gently into the world of Wingspan. If you’ve never heard of Wingspan let us open your eyes to the experience. If you would like to attend the tutorial, please email Mary Nevil ([email protected]) so that we will have enough games.
