Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn more about crows and their important role in our ecosystem. Whether you're a bird enthusiast or just curious about these enchanting birds, this event is sure to captivate your imagination.

The presentation kicks off at 7:00pm and will wrap up at 8:30pm. Doors will open at 6:30pm and we've layered in some additional time after the talk for folks to explore the wonders of the aquarium and the Drawing Connections exhibition, featuring more of Rob’s work alongside several other artists.
