Please join us at The Canteen March 9 at 2:00 pm for the gallery opening of Casey Girard and birding talk by Casey Girard and Michael Plauche. Casey and Michael will be discussing birding in our area and the migratory birds that will be arriving in March. Mark your calendars for this exciting pairing. 

Casey Girard is a local artist, illustrator, naturalist, and educator. Casey is also a founding member of the Feminist Bird Club of Asheville/Western NC. Casey will be displaying and selling a collection of her bird paintings, many of them painted on leaves she has collected on her hikes, as well as notecards, and prints. 

Michael Plauche is a Brevard local who has a passion for birding. He spends time birding daily and volunteers with many bird projects. Michael compiles the Transylvania County Spring Bird Count, the Brevard Christmas Bird Count, and regularly leads walks with the Transylvania County Bird Club.
