Woohoo! What a day! Thank you everyone who helped us celebrate the total solar eclipse. The weather was great, the people were fantastic, and the eclipse did not disappoint.

Mark your calendars to join us for the Spring Gathering at Mary Gray Bird Sanctuary on May 4th.

Here’s an incredible panoramic taken as totality happened. Thanks to Natasha Arnold for the amazing photo.

Our solar eclipse event at Mary Gray Bird Sanctuary is tomorrow!

🎟 This event is SOLT OUT. Due to limited parking at the sanctuary, only those who registered in advance for a family pass will be allowed entry.

🔭 Despite some clouds, we're thrilled to announce that the event will go on as planned. The forecast shows 69-74 degrees with 45-50% cloud cover, but there's still hope for clearer skies as the weather conditions change.

🚗 For all registered attendees, please keep in mind the potential traffic congestion to and from Connersville. With over 1 million visitors expected across Indiana, plan your travel time accordingly.

🥾/⛺️ After the event, feel free to explore the sanctuary or even camp out in our rustic campground. Camping is free and open to all this weekend, but be sure to let us know in advance if you're staying overnight by emailing us at [email protected].

We can't wait to share this unforgettable experience with you!
