# Event Details - **Event Name**: Great Backyard Bird Count Walk, Hayesville - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 am - **Event Description**: Registration is required to attend this event. RSVPing on Facebook does not guarantee attendance. Please go to our website to register and secure your spot: https://www.mainspringconserves.org/events/ Let’s get birdy! This walk is part of the Great Backyard Bird Count initiative, a global community science project that helps researchers understand how birds are doing before they undertake their great spring migration. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a scientist to attend! Though we will be collecting data to contribute to the Great Backyard Bird Count, our focus will be on strengthening our identification skills by discussing the birds we hear and see. This is a great opportunity for beginner birders to practice their skills before the neo-tropical migratory birds return, to look for our overwintering migratory waterfowl such as loons and gulls, and a chance for seasoned birders to brush off the cobwebs before warbler season. This event is open to birders of all skill levels, from total newbies to total nerds. This event is free and open to the public, including beginners, families, and folks with mobility concerns. Registration is not required, but is recommended to receive an event reminder and weather-related communications. We will meet at the Clay County Recreation Parking Lot (333 Ball Park Dr, Hayesville, NC 28904) just before 10:00am on Friday, Feb 13th, and return to our cars around noon. The walk will be over mostly flat grassy terrain with less than 50 ft of elevation gain. Total distance covered during this event will be 2 miles or less. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing, and bring a water bottle as well as any additional tools you may want (such as binoculars, field guides, etc.) We will have extra binoculars for those without their own. Those who participate in the Count on their own time before or after the walk are eligible to receive a free embroidered bird patch! This event is weather-dependent. In the event of any scheduling changes, this posting and our social media will be updated, and any registered participants will be emailed. Please leave pets at home. Email Alina with any questions at amartin@mainspringconserves.org We encourage interested parties visit the Great Backyard Bird Count website to learn how you can become a community scientist on your own time and contribute your data to this global count. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/hayesville/great-backyard-bird-count-walk-hayesville/200029451884607 - **Event Categories**: friday-the-13th, parties, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 14 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://www.mainspringconserves.org/events/?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=hayesville-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Hayesville - **state**: NC - **country**: United States - **location**: 333 Ball Park Dr, Hayesville, NC 28904-1100, United States - **lat**: 35.04593 - **long**: -83.81133 - **full address**: 333 Ball Park Dr, Hayesville, NC 28904-1100, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: Mainspring Conservation Trust (https://allevents.in/org/mainspring-conservation-trust/3541702) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/379932845115c9dd22871610fab04573986c43de9fec2486de4f945b867e9abd-rimg-w1200-h590-dc76c3fe-gmir?v=1770265403 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/614483fcc5b27d7a820651babd483971baf7fdf79b106ab3b4705cd800c92347-rimg-w300-h300-dc77bef7-gmir?v=1770265404 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 am - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** 333 Ball Park Dr, Hayesville, NC 28904-1100, United States - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Mainspring Conservation Trust - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** friday-the-13th, parties, entertainment - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Great Backyard Bird Count Walk, Hayesville ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Great Backyard Bird Count Walk, Hayesville", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/379932845115c9dd22871610fab04573986c43de9fec2486de4f945b867e9abd-rimg-w1200-h590-dc76c3fe-gmir?v=1770265403", "startDate": "2026-02-13", "url": "https://allevents.in/hayesville/great-backyard-bird-count-walk-hayesville/200029451884607", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "333 Ball Park Dr, Hayesville, NC 28904-1100, United States", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "333 Ball Park Dr, Hayesville, NC 28904-1100, United States", "addressLocality": "Hayesville", "addressRegion": "NC", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "35.04593", "longitude": "-83.81133" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Registration is required to attend this event.
