Upcoming Events
Saturday, September 17th
7-9 am Brenton Point State Park Join Patrick Felker at Brenton Point State Park as he and other participants search for migrating birds of the Fall season. Brenton Point is a migrant trap and their should be some decent birds around. As birds travel south they come to the Atlantic Ocean. They turn back around and find the nearest point of land to rest and feed. Brenton Point is one such place. To register for this walk, please click HERE.

“But in the early 1970s, we were not birdwatching. We were birding, and that made all the difference. We were out to seek, to discover, to chase, to learn, to find as many different kinds of birds as possible — and, in friendly competition, to try to find more of them than the next birder. We became a community of birders, with the complications that human societies always have; and although it was the birds that had brought us together, our story became a human story after all.” Other Events
