BIRD WALK AT GEORGE WASHINGTON BIRTHPLACE MONDAY, DECEMBER 14
On Monday, December 14, the Northern Neck Audubon Society (NNAS) will conduct
a bird walk at George Washington Birthplace National Monument Park on Pope’s
Creek between Montross and Oak Grove in Westmoreland County.
This is a fascinating time of year to bird watch as the migrating waterfowl
are arriving, sometimes in great numbers. The National Park Service allows
visitors to view wildlife at the birthplace of our first president. In
addition to wildlife, the park offers stunning vistas of the Potomac River
from beautiful bluffs. There are woods, ponds, Popes Creek, open fields and
beaches. Possible sightings include: bald eagles, Canada geese (in great
numbers), white fronted geese, great blue herons, terns, gulls, loons, wild
turkeys, tundra swans, buffleheads and hooded mergansers.
Carpools will leave Grace Episcopal Church in Kilmarnock at 7:15 a.m. The
address for GPS directions is 1732 Popes Creek Road, Colonial Beach, VA
22443.
Those driving directly should meet at 8:15 a.m. at the beach in the park.
From Kilmarnock and Warsaw, take Route 3 west through Montross. About ¼ mile
past Potomac Mills, turn right on Pope’s Creek Road (Route 204). Proceed to
the park. Go ¾ of the way around the monument. Follow signs to the cemetery
and continue to the beach.
Warm clothing is recommended. There will be loaner binoculars available.
Please call Frank Schaff at 804-462-0084 to let him know that you are coming
so he can notify you if the walk is cancelled. For additional information
