Joint Field Day: Lee Tartt Nature Preserve and Sky Lake, co-hosted by Friends of Chakchiuma Swamp and Delta Wind Birds
Please join us for a full day of nature enjoyment in north Mississippi, highlighting some of our most special and lesser-known wetlands. The trip will be jointly led by Robin Whitfield and others from the Friends of Chakchiuma Swamp, and Jason Hoeksema and other members of the Delta Wind Birds team. We will be learning about all facets of natural history encountered, including plants, fungi, birds, and other animals.
Woodcocks & Wine Potluck
This fun event will take place at Strawberry Plains Audubon Center (SPAC) near Holly Springs. Participants should arrive between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. We’ll start with an indoor presentation about American Woodcock biology and shorebird conservation. Next we’ll head outside (wagon departing ~5:40 p.m.) to watch for the amazing courtship display of male American Woodcocks. Finally, we’ll return to the Visitor’s Center for a potluck dinner (optional, but highly encouraged) and heart-warming beverages (BYOB/BYOW). Cost is $20/person (students free!), in advance or at the door.
