Take a bird walk through Petersburg National Battlefield next weekend
PETERSBURG, Va. (WRIC) -- Birding people of all experience levels are invited to visit Petersburg National Battlefield next weekend for a bird walk through the forest. According to the park's Facebook page, the one-hour, one-mile birding walk will take place at Stop 3 on the Eastern Front Tour Road starting at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 1. Stop 3 is located about a mile south from the visitor's center at 5001 Siege Road.
