Light refreshments will be provided and several holiday sales will also be taking place in the store.

Birds have lured Zach Adams on adventures in varied ecosystems throughout New England, across the United States, and even abroad. He has trudged through alder swamps, trotted through bogs, and canoed oxbows of the Housatonic River. Zach is a devout conservationist and has worked for National Audubon, Mass Audubon, and Northwest Connecticut Land Conservancy, and now Trout Unlimited where he manages stream restoration projects.  Zach’s knowledge and enthusiasm have helped hundreds of people connect with birds and he has put that soul into his book. He has also spotted county first bird species two years in a row in Berkshire County.  It’ s not unusual to find him hunched over a spotting scope in a tropical rainstorm, but he also enjoys quieter moments fly-fishing in New England’ s mountain streams. Zach lives in Ashley Falls, Massachusetts, with his wife, Evelyn.
