Come and enjoy the wonders of fall migration! 🦃🐦🦆🦅

​

Join naturalist Maxwell Matchim for a guided birding walk at one of our private nature reserves. We'll be looking for species like the American Redstart, Swainson's Thrush, and Nashville Warbler as they migrate down to their winter homes in Central and South America! 

 

With any luck, we could see a kettle of Turkey Vultures or Broad-winged Hawks soaring overhead on warm air currents.
