2023 Catawba Riverkeeper Birds of the Basin Calendar

Hank Talmadge • November 29, 2022

Birds of the Basin Calendar

In this calendar we have collected photos of birds you can find throughout the entire Catawba-Wateree Water Basin. Our mission at Catawba Riverkeeper is to preserve, protect, and restore the waters of the basin for all - including the birds! Water quality is important for all animal and plant life, not just those you find directly in the water. We wanted to bring attention to wildlife you might not always know is there by highlighting some of these beautiful birds. 

 

Please know that all calendar proceeds will go towards helping advance Catawba RIverkeeper's mission to improve water quality. 


We hope you enjoy these photos! See below for more information on the photographers - our current Watershed Managers.

Whether you're planning a day at the lake or a weekend on the river, knowing if the water is safe for swimming is an important part of any outdoor adventure.
