SPRING MIGRATION IN THE CAROLINAS!
Tuesday, April 2, 2019
Matthews Community Center
Join HAWK and Scott Fletcher to learn what you can expect during the Spring Migraiton in the Carolina.
Each spring, beautiful neo-tropical birds pass through the Carolinas on their way north to their breeding grounds. For local birders, it is an exciting time for bird watching because the chances of seeing something new, unusual and adding to the life lists are high during this time.
Scott Fletcher, Vice Chair of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation and Natural Resource Manager for Duke Energy is an expert birder who will help us make the most out of this year's migration. Don't miss it!

HAWK needs LEADERS!!!
We need volunteers to help us make sure that HAWK is around for another 10 years and beyond! We need leaders to help us coordinate meetings, assist with projects and workdays and plan field trips. Do you only have a couple of hours per month to dedicate? That's okay! If you are interested in helping out, we will match our needs to your schedule.
Joining the Leadership Team is a great way to decide if you want to take the additional step of becoming a member of the Board. We need dedicated leaders to help ensure that HAWK continues to grow and improve to make a difference in Matthews. If you are looking for a way to give back, please send an email to HAWK President Mary Bures: mrbures@carolina.rr.com.
The Leadership Team meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm at Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant, 1820 Sardis Rd N, in Matthews. Please join us and help us make a difference in Matthews!
