This walk was orginally scheduled for Sunday, May 5, and was postponed to May 12 due to rain.

Join us for a Mother’s Day bird walk in Clarks Crossing Park! The walk will be flat on a mostly dirt path and will be about 2 miles. Newer and seasoned birders are welcome.

Your birding guides are Ron Grimes and Megan Massa, both experience bird walk leaders for ASNV.

Meet in the parking lot where Clarks Crossing Road ends at the W&OD Trail. The nearest cross road is Batten Hollow Road.

If you have binoculars, please bring them with you.

Registration for this event is recommended but not required. If you register, you will receive an email notification if the walk needs to be canceled or postponed due to weather or trail conditions.

We will be documenting the birds we see in eBird, and the leader will share the eBird list with you after the walk. If you don't already have an eBird account, you can sign up for a free one here: ebird.org/home
