Hi all,

And with apologies for an extra post on the topic, but we've had to make a change to the schedule of events for this weekend's Birds on Tap - Monhegan! We will be welcoming Dr. Stephen Kress, Vice President for Bird Conservation for National Audubon and Director of The Puffin Project as our keynote speaker. The full schedule of events can be seen at the following link. We apologize for any inconvenience this change may have caused you, and please don't hesitate to email us off-line with questions or concerns. 

-Derek
