SUMMARY:Celebrate Birds: Birding Sweet Run
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Birds with the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and the Virginia Society of Ornithology at Sweet Run State Park. We will explore three different areas of the park with three simultaneous walks. The park\, in northwestern Loudoun County\, has 894 acres of diverse habitat consisting of vernal pools\, meadows\, ponds\, streams and a rich oak-hickory forest. It borders the Appalachian Trail and is only a couple of miles from the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. For these reasons Sweet Run is a wonderful sanctuary for Loudoun’s wildlife with numerous bird species utilizing its richness.  The Park is located just north of Neersville (see map below). Directions can be found on the Park’s website. Registration Required. \nFee Notice: Sweet Run collects a parking fee via self-pay kiosks located at each parking area/entrance. The fee for a standard vehicle is $10. View fee information. A park pass can be borrowed from Loudoun County Public Library. \nQuestions: Contact Joe Coleman at jcoleman@loudounwildlife.org. \nAfter the walks\, hang around for Sweet Run State Park Earth Day Celebration: All About Birds from 11:00am to 2:00pm.\nRegistration

SUMMARY:Celebrate Birds: Birding Morven Park
DESCRIPTION:Join Carol Sottili and Molly Pinson Simoneau on a bird walk to explore Morven Park\, a 1\,000-acre preserve that hosts a historic mansion\, two museums a renowned equestrian center\, and a mosaic of natural habitats rich in wildlife.  This walk is for beginning and experienced birders. \nThe ridge behind the Davis Mansion is the terminal end of the Catoctin Mountains and with that comes terrific and varied habitats\, geological features and diverse wildlife. The land hosts a spectacular array of native trees\, shrubs\, and wildflowers\, from massive oaks to tiny ephemerals. Box Turtles roam the woods as do a variety of mammals\, including coyotes\, raccoons\, opossums\, bats and deer. \nDuring spring\, birds migrate through this area and refresh themselves in the thick forest before heading north to breed; the park in spring also welcomes a host of neotropical birds that come here to raise their young. During our walk\, we hope to see not only our year-round resident birds\, including woodpeckers\, hawks\, chickadees and bluebirds\, but also recent arrivals\, such as Scarlet Tanagers\, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers\, Ovenbirds and Northern Parulas. And perhaps we’ll be lucky to spy an American Redstart\, Northern Waterthrush or another of the species just passing through. Limit 14. Parking information will be emailed to registered participants. Registration required \nQuestions: Contact info@loudounwildlife.org.
