Audubon Society field trips

The Potomac Valley Audubon Society welcomes its members and interested members of the public to two field trips in February. On Saturday, February 10, PVAS will join with members of the Baltimore Bird Club for birding on the Eastern Shore from Cape Henlopen, Del., to Ocean City, Md. This trip will offer an opportunity to see loons, gannets, sea ducks, Great Cormorants, and Purple Sandpipers. Razorbill sightings are also possible.

Those who wish to participate are asked to contact Nancy Kirschbaum before hand at 304-876-6881 or nancyk500@adelphia.net so PVAS knows how many people to expect and can contact them if inclement weather forces cancellation—this trip was cancelled last year due to weather.

On Saturday, February 24, PVAS will join the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy for a winter bird walk at the Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship in nearby Loudoun County, Va.

This 900-acre preserve is located on Harpers Ferry Road (Route 671), a few miles south of Harpers Ferry and the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. The property includes meadows in the valley and heavily forested slopes on the Blue Ridge.

For more information about this event contact Joe Coleman at 540-554-2542 or jcoleman@loudounwildlife.org. The Potomac Valley Audubon Society is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and a member of the United Way of the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and the Combined Federal Campaign.
