Been wondering about our bird friends but not sure how to get acquainted? Starting in November, the Rockbridge Bird Club members will lead Bird Walks for Beginning Birders. The Club has a plan in place to promote covid-safe venturing, and Boxerwood is the site for the first bird-friendly trek on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 9 am.
This free event will start with a meet-up with experienced birders at the Boxerwood parking lot. These friendly birders will guide small groups through a 2-3 hour stroll through the gardens and fields. Group size will be limited to 4 people per leader and all will stay at least 6 feet apart. There will be 2 or 3 leaders available at the walk. Everyone is welcome, masks are required, and no birding knowledge is needed, but bring your own binoculars. Since spots are limited, it’s important that folks reserve their place by contacting Club member Wendy Richards by phone (540-463-5214) or by email at richardsw@wlu.edu.
