Greetings, Virginia Birders,
Join us for an early bird walk this Saturday, June 23, at New Quarter
Park near Williamsburg, VA.
Bill Williams, our walk leader this week, is Director of Education
for W&M's Center for Conservation Biology and a founding member and
current board member of the Williamsburg Bird Club (currently
celebrating 30 Birdy Years!).
Meet at the parking lot next to the park office at 7:00 a.m. At the
end of May the group found 57 species. Check out the club's web site
at: http://www.wmbgbirdclub.com/index_files/page0009.htm where the 57
varieties are listed along with a photo of the group.
We're likely to see lots of young birds trying to learn from their
parents how to make their way in the world.
