About this trip
Explore underbirded Stanly County with us as we focus on Morrow Mountain State Park and other local hotspots. The state park is home to the tallest mountain in the ancient Uwharrie mountain chain, Morrow Mountain. We’ll focus mostly on birding the state park, exploring a few trails and looking for woodland and lowland species such as Prothonotary Warbler, Louisiana Waterthrush, Wood Thrush, and Yellow-throated Warblers. Red-headed Woodpeckers are abundant and we can hopefully expect a good variety of migrants.

Good trip. Good variety of birds, including 3 species not yet seen by me in NC. I like Kevin's laid back style and I always learn something new when I go out with him.

Good refresher - especially the hints that can be used for some of the warbler songs.

We went to a variety of habitats and saw a terrific variety of birds. The leader was flexible and even pulled the group over safely on the road when he noticed a good bird for the season and location. The trip was good for both novice birders and serious birders. The trip leader accommodated target birds while sticking with the agenda. The trip leader followed all Covid-19 recommended precautions. The trip leader had an excellent sense of humor and made it a fun day with lots of species of birds in pretty places. A very pleasant experience with Ventures Birding Tours, at a surprisingly low rate. Highly recommend this group for affordable fun birding - for all birding levels from beginner to experienced lister.

The program provided a great timely review of warblers. I always learn something new and helpful from Ventures guides!

Kevin did a very nice job of packing in a review of 23 warbler species. There's a lot to recall! But it helps us get ready for the upcoming Warbler weekend and the Spring migration that's ongoing here in NC.
