REDBUD FESTIVAL BIRD AND WILDFLOWER WALK PLANNED FOR APRIL 16
TO BEGIN AT 7:30 A.M.

The Ninth Annual Honaker Redbud Festival Bird and Wildflower Walk will be held on Saturday, April 16, 2011, at 7:30 a.m. Participants are asked to meet at Slate's Campground to register and begin the Walk. Slate's Campground is located on Route 672 between Honaker and Blackford off State Route 80.

The Russell County Birding Association will once again lead the walk. Over the years walkers have sighted several raptors, including an Osprey, an American Kestral and a Red-tailed Hawk, as well as a Great Blue Heron, Wood Ducks, a Pileated Woodpecker, Pine Siskins and Yellow-throated Warblers. And wild orchids, columbine, jack-in-the- pulpit, blood root, and wild asters added more color to the morning splendor.

Bring your binoculars, cameras and bird and wildflower books and join the fun.
