SATURDAY BIRD WALK AT BELLE ISLE JANUARY
28
Are you looking for a
wonderful outdoor activity with your children and grandchildren in the
winter? On Saturday, January 28, the
Northern Neck Audubon Society will conduct a bird walk at Belle Isle State Park
led by Frank Schaff. There will be several loaner binoculars
available. Meet at the horse parking lot
at 8:00am.
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 diving ducks
(buffleheads, hooded, red-breasted and
common mergansers), loons, geese, swans, double crested cormorants, bald
eagles, great blue herons, belted king fishers, Eastern blue birds, and gulls.
To reach the park from Kilmarnock, take Rt. 3 west to Lively and turn left
on Rt. 201 (White Chapel Road). Go to the end of 201 and turn right onto Rt.
354 (River Road). Go 3.1 miles and turn left on Rt. 683 (Belle Isle Road).
After the park entrance, continue through the four way intersection. The horse
