Birding in the Gap Monthly Series

The Southwest Virginia Museum Historical State Park will offer a monthly "Birding in the Gap" series on the second Saturday of each month. This series will be hosted by park rangers and volunteers.

Participants who are interested should meet at the front gate of the museum. We will walk around the museum grounds and along the beautiful greenbelt of the Powell River. Each month a different topic will be discussed; this month’s topic will be bird journaling. Bird journaling is a comprehensive place to record your sightings and experiences and keep notes for the future. Birding logs include guided prompts to track key information such as each bird’s name, colors and markings, habitat, and behavior as well as current location and weather.

This monthly series will be held rain or shine. Participants are asked to wear appropriate clothing for the weather and comfortable walking shoes. Binoculars are encouraged but not required. Registration is not required. For more information about the "Birding in the Gap" monthly series, please contact the park.
