The Potomac Valley Audubon Society will sponsor a bird walk at the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park’s Murphy Farm on Wednesday, Mar. 7. The event is free and no pre-registration is required. Anyone with an interest is welcome to come along, regardless of their birding skills. Binoculars will be available for anyone who needs them.

Participants will meet at 8 a.m. in the Murphy Farm parking lot. The walk will involve about two miles of moderate hiking, mostly through fields. Species likely to be sighted include Bald Eagles, Red-tailed or Red-Shouldered Hawks, vultures, Common Ravens, woodpeckers, Cedar Waxwings and Eastern Meadowlarks.

Everyone should dress appropriately for the prevailing weather conditions and bring along water. The trip may be canceled in the event of snow or steady rain. Various trip details could also change depending on weather or recent bird sightings.
