Berkshire Bird Paradise and Peace Pagoda

This is an amazing place with a wide variety of birds. There are eagles , parrots, owls, and much more. While they are technically closed for the season they are willing to lead us around this sanctuary and tell us stories about these birds. There are still several eagles that are out in the open but many birds are inside now. We will be able to take pictures as well of course. Peter just asks that we share images on Facebook Bird of Paradise on Facebook and help promote the sanctuary. They are building a new website and would like me to send pictures as well. He did not mention a charge as he is technically not open but I'd like us to each provide a $10.00 donation. We will meet there at 1:00 and spend a couple of hours.

After that we will go to the Peace Pagoda that is nearby. This is a temple where we can photograph the sunset (not sure exactly where the sun will be). But before that I thought we could enter the temple and meditate for a short time on world peace thinking about the wars that are so tragic and devastating. It is a beautiful temple and quite remarkable to see. To learn more: Peace Pagoda

Dress for the outdoors in November. Sunset is at @4:30 on this day. If people are interested we can go get a bit to eat afterwards. Thank you.
