Birding
Along the Rockfish Valley Trail
The Rockfish valley Trail offers an excellent birding adventure for both novices and experts. The trees, fields, bogs, rivers, streams, and mountains provide a diverse habitat for year round birds and migrating species. Novice birders can expect to see 20 or more species during a two hour walk, and experts may see 40 to 50 species or more, especially during spring and autumn migration. At this time, there are four sections of the trail that are open for birding.
