TRYON—Get ready for the spring bird migrations with birders Kevin Burke and Cheryl Day at the next Live@Laner Felburn Nature and Wildlife Program, set for Wednesday, February 19, at 1 p.m.

Western North Carolina has always been one of the best places to seek and find newly arrived spring bird migrants such as vireos, warblers, tanagers, and more. However, some birding hot spots in our area were heavily damaged by Helene, such as Green River Cove Road. To save some of the usual opportunities for bird watching this year, Kevin and Cheryl will share the places birders can still go to enjoy the colors, calls, intrigue, and thrills of a spotting. 

Kevin has led birding trips for almost 20 years in the United States, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and elsewhere. Together, he and Cheryl will tell you what to look for in your backyard and within convenient driving distance of Tryon.
