Birds and Birding (Birdwatching)
About the presenter...
Hayesville resident, Brenda Hull, will present a program on birds of our area. She is a Biology Professor and Sustainability Coordinator at Young Harris College. Her Thesis for her Master’s Degree was “Behavior Study of the Alder Flycatcher”. Brenda is native to Bristol in East Tennessee. All her travels are designed to include Birding expeditions in the areas she visits.
Brenda’s Power Point presentation will include the importance of sustainable habitat for our feathered friends and the effect this can have on spring and fall migration. She will discuss the impact rapid topographical changes in our mountains have on our bird population and the recent decline of several songbirds that visit our feeders daily.
She will share her some of her “Birding experiences” with the group and why this has become such a popular worldwide hobby. She will list the things you need to do to become a “Birder” and the positives this new experience can add to you life.
A question and answer period will follow her lecture. We will have a sign-up sheet for those interested in “Birding” during spring migration.
Refreshments will be provided
