  • March Field Trip: Curles Neck Plantation FULL

    07:00 -12:00
    03/11/2018

    This limited-participant field trip is FULL.

    Note this is a Sunday and not our usual week for the field trip but when something is this special you take it when you can get it.

    Curles Neck Plantation (also known as Curles Neck Farm) is located between State Route 5 and the north bank of the James River in the Varina district of Henrico County, Virginia. One of the great James River Plantations, Curles Neck has remained in active use for almost 400 years and remains a privately owned working farm which is not currently open to the public. Curles Neck Farm is a 5600-acre property and because it is a private property the owner only allows restricted access. WBC is extremely lucky to be able to go there for our field trip on March 11 (Sunday).

    Our leader will be Ellison Orcult who know the property owner and because of his good relationship is allowed to occasionally lead a field trip on the property. When Ellison was last there in late December, he saw 4 Ross’s Geese, 23 Cackling Geese, 3100 Snow Geese (many dark morph Blue Geese), and 15,000 Canada Geese.  Other great birds were Short-eared Owl, Great Horned Owl, Horned Lark, White crowned Sparrow, and Wilson’s Snipe.

    Opportunities such as this is one of many great reasons to be a member of WBC and to pay your dues promptly as only the first 20 members can participate.
