March 6, 2011 Good afternoon to all!
I just wanted to let you all know about our next meeting. Debbie Barnes will be presenting about the New River Birding & Nature Festival held in West Virginia. What: Aiken Audubon Society Monthly Meeting (www.aikenaudubon.com) Presentation: Armchair Travel - New River Birding and Nature Festival by Debbie Barnes When: March 16, 2011 Time: Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with socializing and refreshments; program starts at 7:00 p.m. Cost: Free; no RSVP needed Location: Colorado Division of Wildlife, 4255 Sinton Road, Rear Entrance, Colorado Springs Have you ever attended a birding festival? Have you been overwhelmed by the crowds and hard-to-keep-up-with guides? Have you ever had Warbler Neck? If you’re looking for something different, the New River Birding and Nature Festival is the festival for you. You can attend for one day, half a week or a full week. Located in and around New River Gorge in West Virginia, the timing is set to take advantage of prime warbler migration, with over 100 species seen. While enjoying the best guide-to-guest ratio among U.S. bird festivals, you will travel along the ridge lines so you can look out on the warblers. This is so much better than always tilting your head back, straining to see a tiny bird ceaselessly flitting among the leaves. Warbler Neck! Not so much on this festival. It is not just a Birding Festival; there are butterflies, moths, salamanders, millipedes, flowers and plants too. All the meals are included, and it is delicious! The people are fun and friendly and the evening programs are entertaining and informative. If you can't travel to West Virginia, take an armchair tour on March 16! Hope to see you on March 16th!
