This will be an easy walk of about 3 miles at the most through fields and along the banks of the Pacolet River.
The Pacolet River runs through woodland and agricultural fields in a very picturesque valley near Landrum in the South Carolina Upstate. Rolling fields, scattered woodlots and riverine brush hold good numbers of both resident and wintering species and the open country habitat dictates the varied bird population of the area. We will be looking for several sparrows, such as White-crowned, Lincoln's, Swamp and Vesper. A pair of Loggerhead Shrikes is resident in the farmlands, and we should also see a good number of raptors, including American Kestrel, Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks and Northern Harrier. Both American Pipit and Lapland Longspur have been recorded in the fields, as have Common Snipe, Killdeer and other transient shorebirds.
$35 per person per day.
Price includes: A delicious picnic lunch will be provided.
Directions & Time of Departure
We will meet at 8AM at the Cracker Barrel at Exit 52 on I-26 in Hendersonville, NC. Drivers will be given directions to Caroland Farms.
