Passing this along on behalf of Scott Heth at Audubon Sharon. The Sharon Audubon Festival is always a great event and a good excuse to get up to the beautiful NW corner. This year it is extra special, being the 40th Anniversary! There is a spiffy flyer, which I can't post to this list, but could forward if anyone is interested. A highlight for music fans is that Paul Winter will be performing at 1 PM on Saturday. Mr. Winter is a huge supporter of global bird conservation efforts. Thanks!
