Forsyth Audubon is partnering with Friends of the Thomas Trail for Mindful Birding 🧘🐦‍⬛
Join us in the morning on Oct. 24 or the evening on Oct. 25 for a peaceful and reflective morning/evening. We will blend birdwatching with mindfulness practices to deepen our connection to nature. Whether you're an experienced birder or a curious beginner, this event invites you to slow down, tune in, and engage fully with the natural world.

Inspired by the work of Birdability, Forsyth Audubon will be hosting an accessible birding outing on Friday, Oct. 23 along Historic Bethabara's Lower Trail.
This outing is open to anybody and any body, beginning and experienced birders alike. The paved parking lot accesses a paved trail running adjacent to a creek and behind Historic Bethabara Park. We will stay on this quiet, flat, paved trail, which will have some sun and shade. There will be some yard seats positioned along the trail for rest.
Please park behind Bethabara Moravian Church for this outing. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the outing and/or access needs prior to the trip, let us know! See you there!

Meet our October Bird of the Month: the cedar waxwing!
As we move into October, this charming bird's cheeping conversations with its friends will become more noticeable across our area. And, as the Piedmont moves deeper into fall, we think there's few things we can learn from the ceder waxwing! Make it a season of rest and restoration. Examine the tips of your wings. Take your time to preen. Enjoy high, cheeping conversations with your friends over a fresh fruit.

Join us at Reynolda for our October Second Saturday bird walk!
We will enjoy looking for Reynolda’s fall birds and taking a leisurely walk along the woodland trails. As we look for birds, our trip leader, Dave, will also share the amazing history of Reynolda’s waterways that were vital to the original Reynolda estate and today support birds and diverse habitats.

Please meet us at Lake Katharine in front of the Reynolda Boat House at 9:00 a.m. We will be walking on dirt trails and paved roads. Roots and uneven surfaces are present on the trails, so we suggest that attendees wear closed-toe shoes. See you there!
