Bring binoculars if you have them. Expect to encounter rough terrain where walking is difficult. Directions and parking information will be sent to participants prior to the walk. Limit 12. Registration required. \nNote: This walk is exclusively for young birders (ages 13–20); a parent/guardian is welcome to join you. \nQuestions: Contact Patrick Lewis at plewis@loudounwildlife.org.
