The highest elevations of the Great Smoky Mountains resemble another world. The environment is more like Canada than the Tennessee Valley, so different birds are found there in the summer like raven, saw-whet owl, peregrine falcon, black-capped chickadee and many more.
Join local naturalist Stephen Lyn Bales for a look at the birds of the high country at the UT Arboretum Society’s First Thursday Nature Supper Club via Zoom on May 5 at 7 p.m. EDT
You provide your own stay-at-home supper, and we provide the nature as Stephen Lyn will entertain and teach us via Zoom about these beautiful birds.
The program is free, but registration is required to receive your link. Register here.
This program will be recorded, and closed captioning is available. Please note this program is scheduled on Eastern time. Contact UT Arboretum Education Coordinator Michelle Campanis at mcampani@utk.edu with any questions or registration issues.
