Join us on Tuesday April 14th for our next Tuesday Talks lecture: Kimberly Robbins on Bird Migration and Photography.

Bird observation isn’t about chasing rarities — it’s about awareness. Growing up in the woods and marshes of South Chatham, I learned to pay attention long before I ever picked up a camera. In this talk, I’ll share how the quality of light, the time of year, tidal shifts, and the simple act of listening shape what we discover during migration on Cape Cod. When we engage all of our senses, migration becomes less of a checklist and more of a relationship — with the birds, and with the landscape itself.

Free for members, $10 for non-members.
