Southern Boreal Birding Festival |
June 4 - 6
Canaan Valley and its surroundings is the ideal habitat for many species of birds found further north in the North American continent. Some birds to be seen are the Blackburnian Warbler, Henslow's Sparrow, Alder Flycatcher & Bobolink to name a few. Last year we found Brewster's Warbler, a hybrid of Blue- Winged and Golden-Winged Warblers. It's a very rare bird that most of our participants have not seen.
Schedule for the weekend includes daily walks, workshops and guest speakers.
Go to the Annual Southern Boreal Birding Festival page for further details, schedule of activities and more. |
