This birding walk is designed for beginners and the more experienced. The leader will give some preliminary info for beginners at start of walk such as how to use binoculars, field guides, and basic identification clues.
We’ll be looking for migratory arrivals: warblers, tanagers and orioles, as well as interesting resident birds such as ospreys, hawks, eagles and woodpeckers. We will be on the towpath, briefly in the forest, and the area near Great Falls.
We may go for lunch after the walk at a restaurant about a 15-minute drive from the park.
NOTE: The entrance fee to C&O National Historical Park at Great Falls Tavern is $15/per car, good for day of purchase plus 6 days. You can also enter with an NPS Annual Pass or Golden Eagle Pass or buy a $30 Great Falls annual pass, which gives access to Great Falls Park, Virginia, and the Great Falls area of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park on the Maryland side of the Potomac River.
Cancelled in the event of rain or high winds.
