Nineteen birders enjoyed a "birdy" morning at New Quarter Park today. Bill Williams was our leader and the group tallied 49 species including Orchard Oriole and Laughing Gull that Bill observed while pulling stilt grass after the bird walk. Attached is a photo with almost everyone in it.

Again, a black rat snake turned us all into paparazzi when we walked up the hill from the creek. A good size specimen (NOT entangled in the green netting) posed for quite a few cameras.

Here's a plug for the Colonial Nature Photography Club. The next meeting is July 6 at 7 pm at James City County Library in Croaker. Here's the link: http://web.mac.com/sdevan3635/cnpc/Home.html
