The Potomac Valley Audubon Society is sponsoring a Feb. 18-19 birding trip to the Eastern Shore. The trip will be led by veteran birder David Myles. Anyone with an interest is welcome to participate. There is no fee but each participant will be responsible for his or her own travel arrangements and expenses.

Those who wish to participate should plan to meet at 8 a.m. Saturday Feb. 18 in the visitor’s center of the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, which is located at 2591 Whitehall Neck Road, Smyrna, Del.

There are a number of lodging opportunities in and around Dover. Mr. Myles will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express, North DuPont highway; rooms can be booked there at www.holidayinn.com or by calling 877-816-1740.
