We had a great time at the Malden park Earth Day Event 2023! Although it was absolutely freezing (see third picture 🥶), we were very happy to see so many people there and such great interest in the wonderful world of birds. There were so many great organizations there as well also educating and advocating for the protection of our amazing wildlife here. We hope to see everyone again next year!
