Bird enthusiasts flocked together April 5.
Save Our Seabirds supporters gathered at Michael’s on the Bay at Selby Gardens on Thursday evening for the seventh annual Sunset Soirée.
As the sun began to set, guests gathered outside for a cocktail hour with live music, bird meet and greets and a silent auction with items such as a tour for two of The Lemur Conservation Foundation and a Longboat Key weekend with a stay at the Wicker Inn.
After cocktail hour, guests moved inside for dinner and a presentation about Save Our Seabirds, which aims to rescue, rehabilitate and release birds while educating the public.
