Wings & Wander: Fall Migration Bird Watching

Join us at Meeks Mountain Trails for another outdoor education event as Wings & Wander returns for a special fall birdwatching experience!

This beginner-friendly birding event will be led by Michelle Platt and Laura Boggess of the Handlan Chapter of the Brooks Bird Club in Charleston. Fall is a great time to explore the trails and learn more about the birds that live in our area as well as those moving through during their seasonal migration.

We’ll meet at 5:30 PM at the Big Red Barn at Hurricane City Park. Michelle and Laura will begin with a short, informal introduction to birding, including tips for getting started, identifying common birds, understanding fall migration, and using helpful tools and resources for new birders. After a brief Q&A, we’ll head out on the trails for a guided bird walk and put what we’ve learned into practice.

Whether you’re brand new to birding, interested in learning more, or simply looking for a reason to spend a fall evening outdoors, this is a great opportunity to learn, explore, and connect with nature.

Bring your binoculars if you have them. We’ll also have a limited number available to share.

This is a free event, but donations to support Meeks Mountain Trails and our outdoor education programs are always welcome.

Bring a friend or family member and come Wings & Wander with us this fall!
