The New River Gorge Birding and Nature Festival starts at 6 AM on Monday morning with a program called "Birding By Butt". It takes place on the Meadow at Possum Creek Retreat. Coffee is ready, and then right in the backyard there are numerous birds and also the groups walk along the property to see the many different birds and flowers that are there.
