Happy New Year to all,
Despite the cool (some would say COLD) temperatures, we had a great turnout for the 4th Annual Greensprings Boardwalk Bird Show -- 24 people and 20 bird species. What fun! We heard about exotic places where people had been and wonderful spots where people are headed! Great to see and visit with everyone. Thanks for coming out and spending part of your holiday with us. By the way, you can buy handwarmers at Target in the camping section. If you're a Costco member, you can order them on line in great quantity.
The list of birds is below. We missed some of our regulars out there -- no bluebirds, no Red-headed Woodpeckers. Oh well, another visit is in order on a warmer day.

A field trip to the four tunnel islands of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel has been planned for 1/17/09. Special arrangements have to be made to visit islands 2, 3 & 4. A security guard is required to accompany each group of 15 people, and because of this, each person needs to pay a fee of $10. The islands are a great place to find Brant, Harlequin Ducks, Long-tailed Ducks, Great Cormorants as well as other interesting species. Contact Shirley Devan for more information. |
