PVBC is excited to again offer its “birding before work” series of bird walks during peak spring migration! This year we’re excited to offer many options, with PVBC members leading ten bird walks at various location from April 27 through May 8. Join any or all of these short, early morning walks at birding hotspots in and around town to welcome migrants to Charlottesville, before heading off to the rest of your day! Walks begin at 7 AM and end based on the leader’s schedule, typically by 8:30 AM, but may extend longer. Participants can stay as long as they’d like.
