Dr Steven Hopp of the Blue Ridge Discovery Center and Emory & Henry University will lead a morning of introductory bird-watching on the Mendota Trail at Benhams, Virginia. The walk crosses a variety of habitats, including farmland, a large wetland with a beaver pond, and mature hardwood forests. The diversity of habitats over this relatively short distance allows participants to see or hear many different species of birds.

The hike will be around 2 miles on a gentle, graveled surface where tennis shoes are appropriate footwear. A picnic shelter and bathroom are at the Benhams parking lot. Bring binoculars, water, and sun protection.
