Join us for a guided morning bird walk at Dark Moon Preserve on Thursday, August 6, from 9:00–10:00 AM, led by RVC trustee and local ecologist, Sharon Wander. 

As we explore the preserve’s diverse habitats, you’ll learn how to identify birds by sight and sound, gain insight into their behaviors, and discover why Dark Moon is such an important refuge for wildlife. This walk is perfect for beginners and experienced birders alike. It is recommended that you download the app Merlin to your phone before the walk, as we will learn how to use it to enhance your birding experience.

Please wear comfortable walking shoes, apply tick spray, and dress for the weather. Binoculars are recommended if you have them. Children age 10 and older are welcome to join with a parent. Please leave your pups at home for this hike!
