Hunt Country Vineyards Announces Gardening for Birds

Hun Country Vineyards / May 1, 2026

Saturday May 30, 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM

Join us at Hunt Country Vineyards for a guided birdwatching walk on our beautiful grounds, including vineyards, hay fields, pollinator fields, and woods. Fran Willis will lead a group to spot and identify the many bird species that live in the picturesque setting of our seven-generation farm. She will quietly share her expertise along the way.

Hunt Country will be making a contribution to the Yates County Master Gardener Program.

Itinerary

  • 9:00 AM to 9:15 am: Meet & Greet: Introduction to Fran Willis
  • 9:15 AM to 10:00 AM: Birdwatching walk guided by Fran Willis (optional)
  • 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM: Presentation and Q&A with Fran Willis

Following the walk, the group will get comfortable inside for Fran’s presentation on Gardening for Birds – rain or shine! Fran comes with a wealth of knowledge on how to plan your garden with native plants that attract and support the birds you love. She will also take time to answer questions you may have about your personal gardens.

(Note: The birdwatching walk is optional. If you are unable to join the group for the walk, please feel welcome to attend Fran’s Gardening for Birds presentation.)
