BIRD WALK AT LAUREL GROVE ON SATURDAY, MAY 19
On Saturday, May 19,
the Northern Neck Audubon Society will conduct a bird walk at the Laurel Grove
tract of the Rappahannock
River Valley
National Wildlife Refuge at 8:30 am. Children (of all ages) are welcome and
there
will be several pairs of loaner binoculars available.
Frank Schaff will
lead the walk around the tract located on Farnham Creek in Richmond County.
This is peak time for migrating birds and for
wildflowers. This tract offers a
forested trail around a pond lined with mountain laurel. There are fields and a
tidal creek. Possible sightings include Carolina chickadees,
chipping sparrows, scarlet tanagers, red-eyed vireos, rose breasted grosbeaks,
warblers,
phoebes, flickers, osprey, and bald eagles.
