Hello birders,
Twenty birders participated in Richmond Audubon's annual fall field trip to
Curles Neck Farm in eastern Henrico County. Below is short report of highlight
birds seen in addition to a link to the full eBird list with photos. Curles
Neck is private, trespassing is not allowed.
The farm hosts winter flock of the Lesser Snow Goose Subspecies. This
subspecies is predominately in the blue morph form, the opposite of our coastal
Snow Geese (Greater). Many Canada Geese and other waterfowl also winter here.
Among the mass of geese, rare geese are regularly recorded. On our trip, we
recorded group of 5 Greater White-fronted Geese and 3 Ross's Geese (photos are
in the link).
Other birds of note were at least two Black-crowned Night-herons, an uncommon
bird in this area. A small flock of shorebirds which included a Pectoral
Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Wilson's Snipe and Greater Yellowlegs. We had nice
looks at White-crowned Sparrows and quick looks at a Fox Sparrow. Horned Larks
and American Pipits were calling overhead all day. Six Tundra Swans decorated a
pond for much of the day.
Check the RAS website for other upcoming field trips.
