SATURDAY BIRD WALK AT BELLE ISLE OCTOBER

On Saturday, October 27th, the Northern Neck Audubon
Society will conduct a bird walk at Belle Isle State Park led by Frank Schaff.
The bird walk will begin at 8:00a.m. at the
horse trailer parking lot. If you wish
to carpool, meet at Grace Episcopal Church in Kilmarnock at 7:25a.m. There
will be several loaner binoculars
available.
Belle Isle State Park in Lancaster
County features seven miles of Rappahannock riverfront as well as diverse tidal
and non-tidal
wetlands, lowland marshes, tidal coves and upland forests. Among possible
sightings are early migrant
waterfowl (diving ducks, loons, geese, swans), double crested cormorants, bald
eagles, great blue herons, belted king fishers, Eastern blue birds, bald eagles
and gulls.
