Drummond is coordinating the walks at & around Banshee Reeks and I hope to

CELEBRATING SPECIAL PLACES: BIRDING LOUDOUN COUNTY - Saturday, May 10, 8:00
a.m. During spring, thousands of migratory birds move through North America to
their nesting territories. Some will actually stay and nest in our area, while
others will spend only a few days here replenishing their energy before
continuing a journey that may be thousands of miles long. In celebration of
International Migratory Bird Day and the importance of healthy wildlife
habitat, the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy is sponsoring several bird walks
throughout Loudoun County as well as a survey of the birds in Loudoun County
that day. Some of the sites the different groups will visit are Horsepen
Preserve in eastern Loudoun, Morven Park and the ANS Rust Wildlife Sanctuary in
Leesburg, the Banshee Reeks Nature Preserve in central Loudoun, and the Blue
Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship in far northwestern Loudoun County.
Please bring binoculars. Contact Joe Coleman at 540-554-2542 or
jandkcoleman@xxxxxxxxx to participate in one of the walks or the survey and to
choose a site.
Thanks, Joe Coleman
