Soaring into the Fall
It’s the end of the summer and fall migration is well on its way. To celebrate this mass movement of birds, we will kick off out 2008-09 year with a visit from some birds that wish they could be migrating south. The Carolina Raptor Center will enthrall us with their presentation that includes live, permanently injured birds of prey. They will give the opportunity to learn about the natural history of these magnificent birds as well as discuss their migration through the area. And best of all we get to see them close up and personal, something difficult to do in the wild.
So start your fall migration by joining us on Thursday, September 4th at 7:30 PM in the fellowship hall of the Sharon Seventh Adventist Church (920 Sharon Amity).
