Blue Wall Birding Festival
At Table Rock State Park
Tour some of the best bird watching hot spots in the upstate as spring migration is ramping up. Experienced birders will guide small groups to a variety of habitats within the mountains and upper piedmont. Table Rock State Park will serve as our birding hub during this multi-day event. Participation will be limited to 50 attendees in order to keep the field trip group sizes small, so sign up quickly as trips are first come/first served. When you register for the festival, you then will have two options for selecting your field trips. The field trip destinations are listed below and full field trip descriptions can be read at http://www.gcbirdclub.org/BlueWallOutings.html After reading the descriptions, you can select your trips from that Blue Wall Birding Festival website that will email your trip choices directly to the park, OR if you choose to select your trips here, use the comments section of your registration to indicate your first and second choice for Friday and Saturday’s field trips.
