Whether you’re in the woods with friend, on the seashore with family, or looking out the window of your apartment, join Cassandra Montenegro, second year Master of Divinity student at Harvard Divinity School, for a joyful journey into how birding and birdwatching can restore connection and confidence in our communities and ourselves.
