Bird Counts at Merrimac Farm March 14, 2009

The Prince William Conservation Alliance has developed a preliminary bird list for Merrimac Farm Wildlife Management Area and is scheduling regular birding tours to help fill in the blanks. The Alliance wants to publish a seasonal bird list, including information on populations and associated habitats, to help Northern Virginia wildlife watchers appreciate and explore Merrimac Farm.

Birders will depart from the Stone House Nature Center and travel through a variety of habitats, including open fields, woodland edges and bottomland forest. Everyone is welcome! We hope you can join us for an exciting morning discovering more about the birds that visit and live at Merrimac Farm.

Dress for the weather, bring binoculars and cameras. Open to the public and free of charge. For more information check online at www.pwconserve.org or contact the Prince William Conservation Alliance at 703.499.4954, alliance(at)pwconserve.org.
