Upcoming Pow Wows This Week, Live Stream, Special Giveaway and more on PowWows.com!


June is here and Pow Wow season is in full swing!

I’m home for another week or so before heading out to Boise for a conference. While I’ve been home, I’ve been enjoying a little downtime and playing with something new 🐦

I’ve been using the Merlin Bird ID app and it’s been a blast. It can identify birds just by sound and I’ve already spotted way more than I expected right here in my neighborhood. I can’t wait to try it out on the road this summer!

👉 Check out my post about it here

This weekend we’re back with another live stream 🎥 Don’t miss the Alabama-Coushatta Annual Pow Wow
