Dear Audubon Club members,
Due to computer problems, this is rather late of our wonderful
birdwalk back on Feb. 2oth. First of all I would like to thank Maggie
Gertz for helping to arrange our walk at the Kendale Farm in Champlain,
Essex County. Our hosts, Hill and Alice Wellford were very gracious and
Hill led the walk with Frank Schaff. The Wellford's spoiled us with
delicious refreshments and opened their beautiful home to us. We had
gorgeous weather with temperature reaching 64 degrees at 2:15 PM. The
various habitats we visited at the farm enabled us to reach a total of
39 species! We had seventeen members on the walk.
The bird list is as follows: Tundra Swan, Canada Goose, Mallard,
Gadwall, Bald Eagle, Cedar Waxwing, Red-winged Blackbird, Black Duck,
Northern Harrier, Belted Kingfisher, Double-crested Cormorant,
Red-breast6ed Merganser, Hooded Merganser, Northern Mockingbird, Turkey
Vulture, Common Merganser, American Pipit, Pied-billed Grebe, Red-headed
Woodpecker, Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, Tufted Titmouse, White-breasted
Nuthatch, Carolina Chickadee, American Robin, Black Vulture, Great Blue
Heron, Ring-billed Gull, Northern Bobwhite, Forster's Tern, Common
Grackle, White-throated Sparrow, American Goldfinch, House Finch,
Dark-eyed Junco, Brown-headed Cowbird, Eastern Bluebird, Red-bellied
Woodpecker and American Crow.
Ten of us met for a late lunch at Java Jack's in Tappahannock and a
good time was had by all.
What a wonderful memory this will be of our February birdwalk of
2016!
Happy Birding,
Maryalyce J. Johnsen
P.S. Could Paul, Frank or Nancy let me know if this went through
O.K.!!! Thanks! Mary
