There is spectacular biodiversity all around us — though often it is hidden in plain sight. Perhaps no taxonomic group has captivated the human imagination quite like birds. They fascinate us with their flight, dazzle us with their beauty, and serenade us with song. This summer, Ben Nickley, director of Berkshire Bird Observatory, will lead bi-weekly bird walks at the Berkshire Botanical Gardens.  During these leisurely walks through our leafy grounds, Ben will help you learn how to find and identify dozens of dazzling birds that summer in the Berkshires. Come commune with nature! Few other outdoor pursuits offer physical, intellectual, and spiritual benefits that come naturally with learning to notice, identify, and watch birds. Join us in our pursuit of connection with the natural world through the gateway of bird watching.
