Leaders of Bird Club at Swarthmore College
Pre-Event Bird Walk: 6a.m.
Afternoon Walk
We all hear their songs and see them bouncing around, but we don't always realize how many birds exist in our area alone nor stop to enjoy their beauty. Take a walk to learn about our birds in the Crum!
These are the events that we are planning for on the day of the Extravaganza. This schedule is tentative and will be updated as more information becomes available. If you have any expertise you would like to share, please contact us at crumwoodsextravaganza@gmail.com!
