Hello Everyone,
For those of you who may not already know, and a reminder for those who do,
the National Audubon Society's Virginia IBA Program and Dominion Resources
have teamed up to provide weekly videos, photographs and information with
regards to Richmond's Great Blue Heron rookery between the 9th and 14th
Street Bridges. Please check out: http://varookery.audubon.org/. In addition
to the video that is already on the site, two new videos highlighting action
in mid to late February should be posted soon, we hope. Please check back
regularly for more information.
Additionally, just a reminder that Richmond Audubon, the James River Park
System and IBA Program have teamed up to provide two more Heron Rookery
"tours" on March 12th and 26th from 10 AM to 12 PM. We hope you'll be able
to attend!
All the best,
-David
