Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge Bird Checklist
Canaan Valley National Wildlife Birding by Trail Checklist: lists compiled for each
trail based on observations from Refuge biologists and volunteers.
Click on trails listed below to view individual trails and associated
bird checklists. For more information on trail designations view the
Refuge trail map.
Thanks to volunteers: Joey
Herron, Matt Orsie, Frank Powers, Gary Butts, and
Diane Holsinger. Their observation list made it possible to create the Refuge Birding by Trail Checklist. The Refuge does not have bird lists for all
trails and welcomes additional information. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please see our contact
information.
