Intro

Celebrate spring migration and step into advocacy for birds at the 2022 Audubon North Carolina Summit this April!

Audubon chapters and members have been working hard to build a state-wide community of bird lovers and bird advocates. After so long apart, now is the time for us to gather, celebrate birds, and inspire each other. All are welcome (you don't have to be a dues-paying Audubon member), and registration is open.

Hosted by Mecklenburg Audubon, this weekend-long event has something for everyone and is timed perfectly to coincide with peak spring migration. Whether your level of birding experience is best captured by “what’s a warbler?” or “must see a Swainson’s Warbler,” there are field trips you will love. Plus, we have a slate of workshops to help you hone your advocacy and birdwatching skills.
