Field Trip to Rudee Inlet / Back Bay
Colony Square Shopping Center1301 Jamestown Rd, Williamsburg, VA 23185On Saturday, March 16, ten birders from the club joined up with Dan Cristol and a field trip he was leading for his students at William & Mary at several sites in Virginia Beach. The group started at Little Island Park, moved to Back Bay, then to a nearby community lake and finally to 85th Street beach at the north end of the city. Conditions were quite windy, so passerine counts were low. Nevertheless, the group identified 47 species, with several good photos. Highlights included an Iceland Gull on the beach, and an American Bittern seen by some of the group at Back Bay. Many thanks to Dan for agreeing to combine the groups on short notice, and to Andrew Rapp for reporting the day’s sightings on eBird.

March Meeting: Matt Anthony
Integrated Science Center, Room 1127605 Jamestown Rd., Williamsburg, VAWilliam and Mary’s Matt Anthony will be presenting about his thesis.
Unfortunately, the speaker we had hoped to present, speaking about Fascinating Feathers, has cancelled due to illness. In March, we will be hosting wildlife rehabilitator, Maureen Eiger, who will be speaking about the biology of feathers. Her talk, Fascinating Feathers, is an in-depth study of bird feathers, answering many of the questions birders have about this important aspect of bird biology. - 2323.March.Saturday
