AUDUBON BIRD
WALK AT BELLE ISLE MONDAY, APRIL 8
On Monday, April 8, the
Northern Neck Audubon Society will conduct a bird walk at Belle Isle State Park
led by Frank Schaff.
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. With the
unseasonal warm weather, there may
be sightings of early migratory birds.
(Or there may be a snow storm…who knows with the crazy weather?) Among
possible sightings are double crested
cormorants, pied-billed grebes, bald eagles, osprey, great blue herons, belted
king
fishers, Eastern blue birds, red-winged blackbirds, herring and ring-billed
gulls, Forster’s terns, song sparrows, swamp sparrows and warblers.
Carpools will leave Grace
Episcopal Church in Kilmarnock at 7:15 a.m.
Those driving directly to the park should arrive at 7:45 a.m. and meet
at the horse trailer parking lot which is on the right beyond the Camp Store.
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 Rt. 201 and turn right onto
Rt. 354 (River Road). Go 3.1 miles and turn left on Rt. 683 (Belle Isle Road).
Continue .7 miles to the park entrance. Continue through the four way
intersection. The horse trailer parking
lot will be on your right.
From Warsaw, take Rt. 3 east and travel approximately 14.5
miles. Turn right on Rt. 354 (River Road). Go about 3 miles and turn right on
Rt. 683
(Belle Isle Road). Continue .7 miles to
the park entrance. Continue through the
four way intersection. The horse trailer
parking lot will be on your right.
There will be several pairs
of loaner binoculars available. Please call
