SUMMARY:Monthly Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this month’s chapter meeting on May 27th to hear from the one and only Rob Rogers\, a top local birder. Rob will speak on “Bird Chasing Adventures”. If you do not know Rob\, trust us when we say his are adventures you will want to hear about! According to eBird\, 287 species have been recorded in Forsyth County. Rob Rogers has personally seen 242 species in Forsyth County! \nWith the exception of four years in Chapel Hill\, Rob has lived in Winston-Salem\, where he began birding at the age of 10. He joined Forsyth Audubon in 1995 and served as our president 2015-16. Rob taught a Beginner’s Birdwatching Class for Forsyth Tech from 2003-2019\, introducing countless folks to the joys of birding\, including many of our current members. Rob is generous with his time and knowledge\, leading bird walks that are as fun as they are informative. Don’t miss this chance to hear his tales of adventures with binoculars! \nWe will meet at Highland Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall – 2381 Cloverdale Avenue\, WS\, NC 27103. Enter the building through the wide\, white middle door that borders the parking lot; not the Cloverdale entrance that faces the church. \nSocial time begins at 6:30\, program begins at 7:00 PM
