SUMMARY:Field Trip - Warbler Road / Arcadia - Saturday\, 25April 2026 7:45am
DESCRIPTION:Warbler Road / Arcadia – Saturday\, 7:45am \nLeaders: Tim and Alyce Quinn (540-537-1831) \nThis is our annual trek along several roadways that attract spring migrants and more specifically… wait for it… warblers! Join leaders Tim and Alyce Quinn for one of our favorite trips to see warblers. The group will bird a series of forest service roads between the Blue Ridge Parkway and Arcadia in search of warblers and other Neotropical migrants. This trip usually lasts well into the afternoon\, so bring drinks\, snacks and a lunch. Dress in layers. There is limited space for pulling off on Warbler Road\, so we’ll need to carpool as much as possible. In the event of bad weather\, the field trip will be held the next day\, April 26th. Call Alyce (540-312-6844) or Tim (540-537-1831) if there is any doubt on the forecast. Please meet up at 7:45am at the Botetourt Bojangles.
