Ahhh, the birds of summer! Who are they, where are they and what are they up to during the summer? Join Bird Diva Bridget Butler for an evening talking about birding during the summer months. We'll take a look at interesting behaviors, family dynamics & drama and the transition into fall. Featuring some photos from Vermont bird photographers and stories from my birding adventures in my backyard and beyond.

Bridget has been working in conservation and environmental education for more than 20 years throughout New England. Her business Bird Diva Consulting has her traveling across Vermont delivering presentations, leading bird walks, and surveying birds for landowners. Bridget has worked for the Audubon Society in Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts and helped to created Audubon Vermont's Forest Bird Initiative. You may have seen her on Vermont news stations talking about birds and conservation or heard her on Vermont Public Radio's annual bird show on Vermont Edition. Bridget surveys grassland birds for VT Fish & Wildlife and woodcock for US Fish & Wildlife, and she oversees a roadkill project called WildPaths for Cold Hollow to Canada. As the Bird Diva, she feels it important that birders use their passion for birds to make a difference by helping to protect habitat for birds and other wildlife. Bridget lives in St. Albans with her husband and three young children who she's grooming to be the next stewards of this wild world we live in!
