The High Country Region is hosting a fun bird photography outing at Brookshire Park in Boone, NC.
While the park is modest in size at 8 acres, it is located alongside the South Fork of the New River and attracts an abundance of birds, especially along its riparian path and forest trail. Here's a helpful report from High Country Audubon listing some of the species often found there.
This outing will provide a timely follow up to pro shooter Ray Hennessy's presentation at our May 8 Zoom meeting titled, "Shooting Birds Small in Frame."
We'll plan to meet up at 7am in the main parking lot near the restrooms. For directions, check this Google Maps link.
We will meet at noon at Rosa Kitchen (1185 East Finch Ave. D) in Middlesex. The Flower Hill Nature Preserve is a short drive away. The preserve is heavily wooded with steep hills. You should bring hiking boots or shoes and stay within your comfort zone. Enter at your own risk.Most people drive by with a second thought. However, step inside and suddenly you're in another world. Steep drops, ravines, and mountain life thriving where it shouldn't. We are hoping to have the bloom of the Watauga rhododendrons my mid-May. This 10 acre preserve is a chuck of the Watagua County mountains deposited in Central NC by glacial activity.
CNPA member Kathy Stauss with Vision Art Gallery speaks on turning your photos into exhibited art. We encourage members to stay afterwards to socialize and enjoy a BBQ lunch.
