FENCE’s first bird walk of the year will be on February 25th! Meet at the Trail Shelter for this 2 hour walk.
The walk begins at 9:00 am.
Bring binoculars and good walking shoes, and enthusiasm for a walk exploring the birds in our winter woodlands.
Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks are calling and displaying and should soon be building their nests and Red-winged Blackbirds should soon be arriving at the FENCE pond.
Birdwatching is one of America’s most popular hobbies, and one you can take with you wherever you go. Whether you live in the country or the city or in-between, birds are all around you if you know where to look and know how to attract them. You’ll be well rewarded with a rainbow of colors and a nearly constant stream of activity; and you’ll come to understand nature’s cycles by the numbers and types of birds you see. You’ll find birdwatching to be one of the most rewarding forms of nature study.
