With winter comes bird migration. What a wonderful time to discover the shorebirds of Topsail Island!

Pender County Parks and Recreation, the Town of Topsail Beach and Becky Skiba from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have created a birding adventure, starting Feb. 12, 9 -11 a.m.

Additional birding adventures are set for March 19 and April 23, both from 9 – 11 a.m. Attendees will have hands-on field experience to improve birding skills. Learn identification tricks and behavioral cues too. All levels of experience and knowledge are welcome to join and this is a family-friendly beach walk.

There is no charge for the two-hour programs. The workshop will be outdoors even in a drizzle. Please wear weather appropriate attire and bring plenty of water and binoculars. If you do not have binoculars, some will be provided (limited quantity).

Attendees will meet at 630 Davis Ave. in Topsail Beach for the birding adventures.
