Bird Walk at Powhatan Creek Trail, 11/9/2019
Powhatan Creek Trail / Clara Byrd Baker Elementary School3131 Ironbound Rd, Williamsburg, VAIt was a delightfully calm, sunny and crisp morning on the Trail. The birds appeared to be late rising in the 37 degree temperatures, but we were fortunate to enjoy long and great looks at two Red-shouldered Hawks flying about the pond at the trail entrance. Hermit Thrush as well as Ruby and Golden Crowned Kinglets were seen in the woods and we lingered at the second bridge where a Red-headed Woodpecker, more Kinglets, Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmouse, American Goldfinch, and White-throated and Song Sparrows were active.

Bird Walk at New Quarter Park, 11/23/2019
New Quarter Park1000 Lakeshead Dr., Williamsburg, VaOverall, the woods and Queens Creek were quiet on Saturday, November 23 as fourteen birders searched for our area’s winter birds – especially those who’ve recently returned to spend the colder months in New Quarter Park. A Hermit Thrush gave everyone great looks as it perched pumping its tail and some Ruby-crowned Kinglets gave us fleeting looks. A solitary Bufflehead flew by, the Ring-billed Gulls have replaced the Laughing Gulls at the Queens Lake Marina, we heard Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers and we found a few White-throated Sparrows and Yellow-rumped warblers. The trees compensated with a display of glorious color.
