Welcome to the Grand Rapids Audubon Club website
October Membership Meeting
Author Bob Tarte will present a program based on his book Feather Brained, one of Bob's several entertaining books. To get a sense of the tone of this month's program consider the following quote from Bob's website. "I should have listened to my parents. They had warned me about associating with the wrong sorts of people for fear of what would happen to my priorities in life. Though they had never specifically mentioned birders, I should have had the common sense to steer clear of their influence, too." Don't miss this fact filled and humorous program.
