Participants will be looking for early spring migrants such as Broad-winged Hawk, Brown Thrasher, Gray Catbird, American Robin, House Wren, Eastern Phoebe, Louisiana Waterthrush, Tree Swallow, and the first arrivals at the Purple Martin colony.  Most of our resident birds will be well into nesting by that time and should be in full song.  Some that we will see and hear include the Carolina Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, White-breasted Nuthatch, Northern Cardinal, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Downy Woodpecker, Eastern Bluebird, and Carolina Wren.  There will also be plenty of butterflies beginning to emerge including the spring azure and juvenal's duskywing.  And for the plant lovers the spring ephemeral flowers may be will past their prime this year.  Come join in the explosion of spring!

People of all ages are welcome. The sanctuary entrance, marked by an "Audubon" sign, is located on Boyers Mill Road, just one mile north of Rte. 144. No rest room facilities are available, and the walk will be cancelled in the event of inclement weather.
