A few words from the libraries and groups Greg has visited.

Thank you so much for offering Greg’s Birding talk. It was outstanding! His joy and practical tips to engage in birding were most welcomed. Your library services continue to expand my vision and provide wonder.

Thank you again for the presentation! I am happy the audience we had was very engaged the entire time — which I figured would be the case, since you are so enthusiastic and do such a great job sharing your passion.
K. Director, Indian River Area Library Indian River, MI
I attended your Let’s Go Birding presentation a couple of weeks ago at the Delta Township District Library. I enjoyed it very much and you had a lot of valuable information and insights. I’ve put some of your shared knowledge to use already.
