BIRD WALK SATURDAY,
MAY 4 ON PIANKATANK
The Middle Peninsula Bird Club and the Northern Neck Audubon
Society are conducting a bird walk on Saturday, May 5 at 8:00 a.m. at Holland
Point on the Piankatank River. This
property is on the south bank of the Piankatank River in Mathews County.
From Middlesex County, take Route 3 South and cross the
Twigg’s Ferry Bridge. At the
intersection of Routes 3 and 198, turn right onto Buckley Hall Road. Go 1.9
miles (staying on Route 198). Turn right on Holland Point Road and go to
the end. Meet at the barn which is 1/2
mile past Wading Creek Road.
This is a beautiful property with varied habitat. There are fields, woods, a
high river bank,
sandy beaches, a wetland, and a ravine leading to the dock Possible sightings
include owls, hawks, bald
eagles, sparrows, gulls, terns, woodpeckers, brown thrashers and hermit
thrushes. On a walk in January, a Lincoln’s sparrow was
sighted.
There will be several pairs of loaner binoculars. Please call Frank Schaff at
