🦉 What an unforgettable weekend at the Life’s Extras Birding Celebration in honor of Randy Smith. Thanks to everyone who joined us for nature walks and presentations, shared their sightings and helped make this event such a joy.

This year’s birding did not disappoint! A few standout species made the experience especially exciting:

🪶 A lone loon gliding across the lake
🪶 18 willets: The first recorded at Hungry Mother and in Smyth County
🪶 Northern waterthrush
🪶 Warbling vireo and a yellow-throated vireo
🪶 Chestnut-sided warbler

Moments like these remind us why birding brings people together. Until next time, keep your eyes to the sky and your binoculars ready. 🐦✨
