Native Plants: It Takes a City

May Migration
May 14, 2025, Noon
Matt Valencic, Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland
May marks the month of migration and bird song fills the morning air. Travelers from distant southern places follow the insect hatches north to their nesting grounds, some stopping here, others flying further north to the Arctic. Matt will share insights on the many birds you will see and hear, guiding you through this season of song.
Stay tuned for more information about this program.
