The walk will begin at 7:30 a.m. and last two to three hours. It will be free and anyone with an interest is welcome to come along, regardless of their birding skills.

Pre-registration is recommended but not required. Easy pre-registration is available on the PVAS website at www.potomacaudubon.org.

Participants should wear sturdy footwear, dress appropriately for the prevailing weather conditions, and bring along water. Binoculars will be available for anyone who needs them.

The trip may be canceled in the event of bad weather.
