Fall Birding Hike at the Arboretum

Fall Birding Hike at the Arboretum

with Shane Myers

Tuesday, September 30 | 8:30 - 10:30am

BRN - Elective

Fall Migration is upon us! Come with us while we look to see who is passing through on their way to their tropical wintering grounds. While looking we will discuss the challenges and rewards of birding in fall migration. Bring your own binoculars but if you do not have a pair we have some loaner binoculars available to use during the program.

This program will take place outside and will follow easy trails and paved walkways. Dress for the weather and prepare to be outside for the entire program time.

Shane Myers' interest in nature began as a child with a love of dinosaurs. This quickly grew to include fossils, insects, and reptiles, and learning from the notes his grandparents kept of the birds that came to their feeders in Toledo, Ohio. He has a Bachelors of Science in Wildlife Biology and did most of his undergraduate work on dragonflies and damselflies. This work included coordinating an Ohio- wide survey of dragonflies that culminated in a publication in 2024. He's assisted in outreach and education for plant conservation groups, Odonata Groups, and various bird groups. Shane currently works for the Adult Education department at the NC Arboretum.
