Just an FYI. I was there today and there is lots of construction activity around the flea market area. No parking space, and I couldn't access the trail due to heavy equipment.

Thanks,

Yes, there was a walk scheduled there but I had heard of shutdowns last week and I have attached a news story of the shutdown on the trailhead end of the Lower trail.
You can learn more about this weekend's activities at the FB site Huntingdon County Birding Spotlight that describes several bird walks led by a few of us this weekend.

Hi,
Does anyone know if there's a bird walk at the Alfarata station of the Lower Trail this coming Saturday?
I may have mis-entered a February walk into my March calendar- can't find it on any of the local(ish) birding websites😬
Thanks,
Judy Sinn
