October 9 Big Day for Birding
October 9 is October Big Day, the first day of the international effort known as Global Bird Weekend. Join birders Deb Weston and David Smith at The Quarry Farm Nature Preserve & Conservation Farm for a 10 a.m. hike to record the species that you see in the nature preserve.
The complete list will be submitted to ebird.org to join the global team and help set a new record for birding.
Participants are asked to meet at 9:50 a.m. outside The Quarry Farm’s Seitz Family Pavilion, 1/8 mile north of 14321 Road 7L, Pandora. Admission is free but donations are appreciated.
