The Oconee Rivers Audubon Society is hosting two bird walks this weekend. Hope you get to make at least one!
The Oconee Rivers Audubon Society will be hosting a bird walk at Sandy Creek Park. Birders of all levels are invited to attend. The fall migrants are arriving so it should be a great walk!
We will be meeting in the parking lot just to the right of the entrance gate. From there we will look for waterfowl on the lake, explore some of the Lakeside Trail, and explore some of the open field habitat available at the park or possibly the north end of Cook's Trail.
Our bird walks are free and open to the public. We typically run 3-4 hours though birders may leave at their convenience. Easy to moderate walking. Please dress for the weather, wear practical shoes, bring insect repellent and snacks/water as desired.
If you have any questions please contact Ed Maioriello at fiel...@oconeeriversaudubon.org or 706-296-5275.
