| Contacts | Bird sightings, questions about birds or birding: Norma & Bill Siebenheller, tel: 828-884-5443. You may also enjoy their weekly "Birds In Focus" column about local birds in The Transylvania Times, Transylvania County's twice-weekly newspaper. A May 2006 column provides excellent commentary about the wealth of bird species found at a special location right here in Brevard. Such spaces become increasingly precious as more development occurs in our county and elsewhere. Membership, website, and newsletter: Marvin and Michele Barg, tel: 828-862-8980 |
