Rockbridge Bird Club also invites area residents to join them for member-led walks along the woodland paths and fields at Boxerwood. Walks are scheduled for the second Saturday of each month, beginning November 12.
Boxerwood walks are an excellent introduction for those new to birding. The diverse wildlife habitats here at Boxerwood attract a wide variety of species. Experienced birders will guide first-timers as they learn to identify birds by sight and song and to observe their comings and goings through the seasons. At this time of year, participants will be looking and listening for birds that winter in Rockbridge.
Meet in Boxerwood’s parking lot at 8:00 a.m. for a two-hour stroll. Dress for the weather, bring binoculars, and wear sturdy footwear.
In the event of rain, the walk will be cancelled. For more information about Birding at Boxerwood, contact Bonnie Bernstein (bonnie.bernstein@gmail.com or 540-460-9147).
