Saturday Morning Fall Migration Bird Walks

See what’s new each week at Fenner Nature Center and get some help with those confusing fall warblers from experienced birder Bob Kingsbury.Walks start at 9:00 a.m.

If you would like to lead a walk, or have
a place in mind for a walk, please email us at caascallnote@gmail.com.

Fall Meeting Format Change

Meetings will be held online via Zoom this fall.
The first two months will be a bit of a trial, and if we have enough interest and people attending, we will continue after the first few months, but if they are poorly attended we will likely not hold any additional virtual meetings until we can meet in person.
