SATURDAY BIRD WALK AT BELLE ISLE
FEBRUARY 23
Are you bored sitting inside
on a winter day? Looking for a wonderful
outdoor activity with your spouse, children or grandchildren in the
winter? Join the Northern Neck Audubon
Society on a bird walk at Belle Isle State Park led by Frank Schaff on
Saturday, February 23. 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
