Master Naturalist Allen Miller will talk about West Virginia’s wonderful woodpeckers! You will hear different woodpecker calls, learn about their behaviors, and discover interesting facts about what makes the different types unique from each other. After that, we will go on a 45 minute walk to see if we can see or hear them. Bring your binoculars, and we will have a few to share!
