Black and White Warbler

 

What’s Happening in September?

Fall Migration is a magical time to be in the High Country. Thousands of hawks are streaming down the Appalachian Mountains, mixed flocks of warblers are swarming the forests, and the first hints of Fall Color are starting to appear in the trees. High Country Audubon Society has a fantastic series of bird walks and programs scheduled for this September.

All our events are free and open to everyone!
