Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

FOOTHILLS – Early March is a great time to get out and go birding at FENCE. Winter visitors, such as the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and White-throated Sparrow, will be migrating north soon. This will be a good opportunity to get some end-of-winter birding in, and perhaps welcome an early spring migrant such as Tree Swallow, or Blue-headed Vireo.  

Join Kevin Burke, Ventures Birding Guide, at 9 a.m. on Thursday, March 2 for a fun two-hour bird walk to learn about the birds of our area. This will be an easy walk on trails with gentle hills.

Birders of all skill levels are welcome to join, from beginners to more advanced. Attendees should wear comfortable walking shoes, bring a water bottle and bring along binoculars or bird guides if they have them.

This event is free and open to the public. FENCE thanks the Kirby Endowment at the Polk County Community Foundation for making this event possible.

FENCE is located at 3381 Hunting Country Road in Tryon, North Carolina. For more information or to register for the event visit www.fence.org, email info@fence.org, or call 828-859-9021.
