    Second Session has been rescheduled for Monday, June 24.  The rain date will be July 1. 

    PVAS will offer its first-ever Outdoor Cooking Class this June. The class will be led by master naturalist Clark Dixon and held at Cacapon State Park in Morgan County.  


    It will consist of two Monday evening sessions: one on June 3 and the other on June 10.

    Both sessions will last from 6:00-9:00 p.m.

    The first session will be a classroom-style session that will be held in the shelter next to the Park's Nature Center.  It will provide instruction on techniques for cooking outdoors without pots and pans or other kitchen utensils.  Because it will be held under roof, this session will be held rain or shine.

    The second session will be held in the Park's Campfire Circle and will involve actual cooking.  Each participant will decide beforehand what he or she will cook and bring the necessary ingredients.  The instructor will prepare a cobbler that will provide dessert to the whole group.

    If this second session is rained out, the alternative date will be July 1. 

    Participation in the class is limited and each participant will pay a fee of $10 that will cover both sessions.  This can be paid to the instructor at the first class.  However, each participant may bring one guest, such as a child or spouse, to both sessions.

    Pre-registration will be required.  For more information, contact Kelly Wolf at kheldreth@hotmail.com or 304-229-6229.

    Registration is closed

    The Potomac Valley Audubon Society is sponsoring a birding trip to the National Conservation Training Center outside Shepherdstown on Saturday, June 22, 2013.

    The trip is free and anyone with an interest is welcome to come along, but space will be limited and registration is required. Children will be welcome.

    To register, go to the Society's website at www.potomacaudubon.org or contact trip leader Sandy Sagalkin at monsansagalkin@myactv.net or 240-291-6465 no later than Thursday, June 20.

    The Center's 538-acre campus is not normally open to the public, so this is a good opportunity to visit.

    The campus contains a mix of fields and forest, and it provides good habitat for a rich variety of bird species. This particular trip will focus on the summer breeding population of birds. It also should provide a good opportunity to see NCTC's resident Bald Eagles..

    The trip will last about three hours and involve walking about two miles over moderate terrain.

    Everyone should plan to wear comfortable walking or hiking boots, bring along bug spray to ward off ticks, and dress appropriately for the prevailing weather conditions.

    PVAS will provide binoculars for those who do not have their own.

    The trip may be cancelled if there is bad weather. For further information or to check on possible weather cancellation, contact Mr. Sagalkin.

    Pre-registration is required, as the group size will be limited.

    Field trip participants should plan to meet the trip leader on the Claymont entrance road where a wetland meets the access driveway. The entrance is located at 667 Huyett Road; it is marked by a street sign that says “Claymont Mansion.”

    This field trip will be conducted rain or shine. Participants should dress appropriately for the prevailing weather and bring drinking water, trail snacks and insect repellent. Those who need binoculars should let the trip leader know ahead of time, as loaner binoculars will be available.

    • Cape May, NJ


    The Potomac Valley Audubon Society is sponsoring a hawk-watching trip to Cape May, NJ the weekend of October 11-14, 2013, which is Columbus Weekend.

    Anyone with an interest is welcome to participate and there will be no fee. But participants will be expected furnish their own transportation and arrange for their own accommodations.

    Hotel and motel reservations should be made now, because Cape May is a very popular destination in October. Those planning to use the Lewes-Cape May Ferry also need to make reservations early for the same reason.

    The trip will be led by local birder Sandy Sagalkin, and it will focus on several hawk-watching sites in the Cape May area. It will offer good opportunities to see Peregrine Falcons, Merlins, American Kestrels, Sharp-shinned Hawks, Coopers Hawks, Bald Eagles, Northern Harriers and other raptors. 

    Those who participate will also be able to take advantage of a variety of free educational opportunities offered by the Cape May Bird Observatory and the New Jersey Audubon Society. Their offerings include such events as a Mini-Hawk ID workshop for beginners, a Hawk-banding demonstration, a Monarch tagging demonstration and bird walks that are open to the public.

    The Cape May Bird Observatory website (www.birdcapemay.org) contains a list of Cape May hotels and motels which offer discounts to birders who are members of the Observatory. The savings can be significant enough that trip participants who are not already members may wish to join; this can be done easily online.

    Sandy Sagalkin will be staying at Leith Hall, a Victorian B&B in Cape May.  They offer discounts to members of the Cape May Bird Observatory.  Mention Sandy’s name to Elon or Susan, the proprietors when making a reservation.  Their number is 609-884-1934 or check out their website.

    Those who wish to participate should pre-register by contacting trip leader Sagalkin by phone at 240-291-6465. For more information, contact him by email at monsansagalkin@myactv.net.
