Due to the COVID-19 health threat, CNMAS is following guidelines issued by the National Audubon Society and suspending all group activities until further notice. This includes outside and indoor activities.
We have recently (August 2020) started a Thursday Birders Blog as a means to stimulate communication and discussion among Thursday Birders during the pandemic restrictions and may continue it in the future if there is sufficient interest. Please click the link to follow the discussion and submit your comments.
