We have compiled a boffo events calendar for all of 2012, so you can set aside some very important dates — such as Butterfly Day, Kevin Karlson Shorebird Day, Birding for Beginners classes, a special April Fool's Day (you'll be perfect for this!), and other must-see events. Not too mention our first-Sunday and third-Tuesday walks.

We're posting on Monday — including two big events for Sunday, Feb. 5 — so stay tuned…
