Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park Bird Walk

Meet at the parking lot near the playground and picnic shelters at the Park’s southern end at 7:30 AM. The walk will go down a section of the Patterson Trail exploring mature hardwood forests and overlooks of the Gauley River for species such as Scarlet Tanager, Hooded Warbler, and Black-throated Green Warbler. Upon exiting the Patterson Trail, the walk will go along the Park’s main road, exploring edge and lawn habitats looking for species such as Chipping Sparrow, Great-crested Flycatcher, and Eastern Bluebird. The 1.5-mile loop will be both paved and dirt.
