BIRD WALK AT BEAVERDAM PARK IN GLOUCESTER
JUNE 11
On Monday, June 11th,
the Northern Neck Audubon Society (NNAS) will conduct a bird walk at Beaverdam
Park near Gloucester Court House. This walk will be led by Frank Schaff.
This beautiful park
has a 63.5 acre lake and many trails for bird watching. Among the many
possible sightings are osprey,
herons, swallows, belted kingfishers, warblers, woodpeckers and bald eagles.
Carpools will leave
Grace Episcopal Church in Kilmarnock at 7:15
a.m. Participants planning to drive
directly to the park should meet at the ranger station at 8:15 a.m. To reach
Beaverdam Park,
follow Route 17 south from Saluda Courthouse
approximately 13.5 miles. You will see
the hospital on the left. At the next
light after the hospital, turn left onto Business Rt. 17 (Main
Street). Go .4 mile and
turn left onto Rt. 616 (Roaring Springs Rd.). Go 2.4 miles to the main park
entrance. Follow the road to the main parking lot by
the lake. The ranger station is at the
edge of the lake.
Binoculars and
water-resistant shoes are recommended.
Several pairs of loaner binoculars will be available. For additional
information, call Frank Schaff
