Alfie Fearrington will guide the event. Fearrington is an avid birder with an unquenchable passion for exploring the world’s avian wonders through her binoculars. Her journey in birding not only fuels her soul but also inspires my dedication to wildlife conservation. Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of birding! Explore the fascinating realm of the birds that call Saxapahaw their home, both year-round and during their migratory journeys. Sharpen your talents for identifying our feathered neighbors through sight and sound as they prepare for the impending fall migration!
