The New Year is close! Are you ready! Here are some things happening in my world:

I’ll be taking a group to Southern California for Wildside Nature Tours January 3-9 for my inaugural Big Year Tour. Later in the month I’ll be speaking at Tuscawilla Park in Ocala, Florida for Marion Audubon Society and Pioneer Garden Club of Ocala on January 19.

I will speak at Orange Audubon Society’s monthly meeting on January 21.

The famous Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival will occur in Titusville, FL January 20-25. You can look for me there, too.

But wait. I’m not done yet. I’ll be leading a group in Florida for Wildside Nature Tours January 24-30 for my second Big Year Tour.

It will be a busy, but incredibly fun month!
