Birding for All at Joyner Park 2024-12-29

Join Wake Audubon for Birding for All (Paved walks, no steps) at the 117-acre E Carroll Joyner Park, on SUNDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2024 from 8:30 to about 10:30 a.m. Limit of 25 birders; RSVP opens December 1.

All parts of the birding outing will be on paved surfaces, thus anyone needing wheels or walkers to move around can join us.

Leader is Lynn Erla Beegle ([email protected] or 919-673-6136). I drive a white 2020 Subaru Forester, license plate 0PTMYSTC. Meet in the main parking lot near the kiosk that looks like a miniature covered bridge. We are birding at 8:30 instead of 8:00 as it might be a tad cold on a late December morning.

The address is 701 Harris Road, Wake Forest (one mile east of Capital Boulevard (US 1) and three miles north of 98/Capital interchange). Turn right (east) on Harris (it is called Purnell west of Capital) and follow Harris Road for about a half-mile and the park appears on your right. The first entrance is for the community center; continue to the main (second) entrance, which has a large sign. Meet at the information kiosk that looks like a mini covered bridge.

The park has paved trails and this is a handicapped -accessible outing. The outing is welcome to everyone. Accessible restroom near parking lot. The park is open dawn to dusk so you can arrive earlier than 8 am.
