[va-bird] waynesboro to huntley meadows

To the poster who asked about directions to Huntley.  It's about a 3 hr. =
drive.  I guess you could check with mapquest.com, but the best way is =
probably I-64 east to Charlottesville, then take Rte. 29 north to the =
Culpepper area to Rte. 15 north.

Take 15 north to Rte. 28 to Manassas.  In Manassas, go on the Prince Willia=
m=
 County Parkway east.  I believe the Parkway ends near I-95 at Horner Rd.  =
Take it a few blocks to Rte. 123, go south (right) on 123 for less than 1/2=
 =
mile and then take Rte. 1 north.

I don't remember local landmarks here.  You may need a local map here.  On =
Rte. 1 in Fairfax County, south of the city of Alexandria, go left on =
Lockheed Blvd.  After a couple of blocks, the road bends 90 degrees to the =
right.  Instead, go left into the park entrance.=20

Other cool birding spots are Mason Neck SP, Mason Neck NWR, and Pohick Bay =
RP (Bald Eagle, Gr. Blue Heron).  These are on the peninsula of Mason Neck,=
 =
which you will pass on the right on Rte. 1 just north of Prince William =
County.  Mason Neck SP is my personal favorite.  Check out the Bayside =
Trail.  Hunting Creek and the mouth of Hunting Bay, just south of the =
Beltway along the GW Parkway (park at the Bell Haven Marina lot and walk =
north along the bike path to the bridge) are OK for shorebirds at this time=
 =
of year.  You'll need a scope for the best views, though.

=46or detailed directions, get a copy of the ABA Guide to Virginia or =
=46inding Birds in the National Capital Area by Claudia Wilds.

Hope this helps.  Happy birding!
