BIRD WALK AT KILMARNOCK BAYLOR PARK SATURDAY, APRIL 26
On Saturday, April
26, the Northern Neck Audubon Society will conduct a bird walk at Baylor Park
in Kilmarnock at 8:30 a.m. This park,
recently added to the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail, is named for Dr.
Richard Baylor, the founder and devoted physician of the Northern Neck Free
Health Clinic. This lovely park includes
a half mile long nature trail that follows along the southern edge of Norris
Pond and its vast non-tidal wetlands.
This is peak
migration time for many bird species which will make it a prime time for
sightings. Included in possible
sightings are Black-and white, Northern Parula, Chestnut-sided and
Yellow-throated warblers, vireos, Acadian flycatchers, gnatcatchers, Summer and
Scarlet tanagers, Belted kingfishers, woodpeckers, hawks, osprey and bald
eagles.
Baylor Park is
located on the northern edge of Kilmarnock on Route, 3/10ths of a mile past the
stoplight at Old Fair Grounds Way, the Wal-Mart shopping plaza. The entrance
to the parking lot is on the
right just before you get to the bottom of the hill.
There will be several
pairs of loaner binoculars available.
Please call Frank Schaff, walk leader, at 804-462-0084 to let him know
that you are coming in case the walk is cancelled. For additional information

NNAS, visit www.northernneckaudubon.org.
