October 27: Science on Tap, 5:30 p.m., "Bird in the Place Where you Live" with Amber Wendler and Marissa Langager. We're back in person and will meet at Rising Silo, 2351 Glade Road, Blacksburg. Join us for an interactive talk to learn more about these wonderful animals, followed by a leisurely walk where you will identify local birds and contribute to community science.
