Highland Lakes Birding and Wildflower Society

Invited speaker Jennifer Bristol will talk about the fascinating concept of birding in places that may seem unconventional—such as parking lots and cemeteries. In her book Cemetery Birding, she uncovers how cemeteries—often rich with history, quiet ambiance, and abundant natural features—serve as ideal birding locations. These spaces, typically marked by mature trees, wildflowers, and open grasslands, are not only peaceful but attract a wide range of bird species.
