Augusta Bird Club – The South River Watershed is home to a variety of swimming, slithering, walking, and winged creatures. If the winged variety piques your interest, check out the Augusta Bird Club (ABC). ABC has been offering members the opportunity to participate in a variety of ornithological activities since 1966—that’s the study of birds in case you hadn’t guessed! On the club’s website, you can explore photos of local birds; discover the birds that have been spotted in Augusta County and how common they are; discover local birding hot spots (with directions), including locations right in the South River Watershed; learn about conservation and club membership. If you decide to give bird watching a try, read through the birding ethics and download an Augusta County bird checklist to bring along. Upcoming outings include trips to McCormick Farm on April 16 and Natural Chimneys Park on April 19. Visit the website to explore what the August Bird Club has to offer, and next time you venture outside, don’t forget to look up!
