Join Wil Hershberger and Lynne Cherry for a guided bird walk through the diverse habitats of Red Fox Farm, an old farm homestead circa 1940 bordered on two sides by Cunningham Falls State Park.

The property features a rich variety of habitats including apple orchards, fields (one fallow and managed for Indigo Buntings), blackberry thickets, rock outcroppings, ponds, wetlands, and streams fed by several natural springs. Many species of birds are found here, including warblers (Redstarts, Golden-winged, Blue-winged), goldfinches, and a variety of woodpeckers (pileated, red-bellied, sapsuckers, flickers). Wood Ducks often nest at one of the three ponds, and thickets around the springs are frequented by warblers, while birds bathe in the stream that flows from a small pond. Amphibians such as newts, salamanders, frogs, and toads lay eggs in the wetland area. The log farmhouse and barn, built in 1840, add to the charm of this historic landscape.

Before and after the walk, enjoy bagels with cream cheese and other snacks.

 

Don’t forget to bring bottles to collect delicious spring water from the bubbling springs on the property.
