The W.K. Kellogg Bird Sanctuary’s Wintergreen Lake sits on a major migration route, making it a terrific spot to witness waterfowl traveling toward their winter destinations. If you enjoy birds and love autumn, combine the two and visit the Sanctuary during its annual Fall Fly In, set for 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 7.
Fall is when waterfowl migrate to warmer waters, and hundreds of birds make a pit stop to rest on Wintergreen Lake. More than 80 different bird species have been spotted at the Sanctuary during November in past years.
