Boxerwood bird walks take place on the second Saturday morning. In November and December we will start at 8:30 AM, giving birds and birders an extra half hour to warm up.
These member-led walks are a great introduction for beginning birders, and an opportunity for already avid birders to track the local phenology–those seasonal changes in nature relating to weather and climate, including bird migration.
Target species for early winter include Hermit Thrush, White- throated Sparrow, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, and Winter Wren. Boxerwood birders spotted their FOS (first of the season) White-throat along with the usual suspects on our October walk.
Birders meet in the nature center parking lot for a two-hour stroll through the field and woodlands. Bring binoculars, wear sturdy shoes, and dress for weather. Walks are canceled for heavy rain or snow. For more information or possible weather cancellation, check Rockbridge Bird Club on Facebook.
