FeederWatch

We sit in a cozy, warm room at the Lenoir Preserve Nature Center and watch birds come to the outdoor feeders. A great way to learn about backyard birds, if you’re not familiar with them. Hot drinks and snacks served, too. Not for members only - all welcome.

We need volunteers to lead the FeederWatches. You don’t need to be able to identify feeder birds; you will be paired with someone who does. Email Ruth DeFord
