TRYON—FENCE is inviting the community to a Fall Birdwalk on Wednesday, November 13.

Join Kevin Burke of Carolina Nature Tours at FENCE for an easy and enjoyable morning walk exploring the fields and trails in search of late-fall migrants, newly arrived winter visitors, and year-round residents. This is a great time of year for sparrows, and participants can expect to see several species, including White-throated, Swamp, and Chirping sparrows, as well as plenty of woodpeckers and mixed flocks of songbirds. 

Birders of all levels are welcome. 

Participants should dress appropriately for the weather, wear comfortable shoes, and bring water and binoculars if they have them. Extra binoculars are available to borrow. 

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

The bird walk will take place at 9 a.m. FENCE is located at 3381 Hunting Country Road in Tryon. For more information or to register for the event, visit www.fence.org, email info@fence.org, or call 828-859-9021.
