It’s May and you know what that means…SPRING MIGRATION!! Join us Saturday, May 15th at Evergreen Cemetery. This 239 acre cemetery, is a well known hotspot for spring migrants with it combined with old growth pine and oak, vegetation, and ponds. It has been host to nesting Great Horned Owls and the site of a few rarities including a Hooded Warbler, Kentucky Warbler, and Least Bittern in recent years.

We will meet by the ponds and explore the hotspots including the pond trail, brush pile, powerline cut and junk pond.
