AWARE Wildlife Rehabilitators return for another presentation to the Williamsburg Bird Club and the Historic Rivers Chapter of Virginia Master Naturalists. This time the focus is on daring rescues in the wild, and a behind the scene look at wildlife rehabilitation. They will talk about how you can help and what you need to know about rescuing orphaned or injured wildlife. Of course they will bring a few of their “ambassador animals” as well. Presenters include Julie Wobig (Tidewater Wildlife Rescue and AWARE), Deb Woodward (AWARE) and Colleen Harlow (AWARE).
Free and open to the public.

Our next field trip will be next Saturday, February 18! Rexanne Bruno will lead us at sites along the Colonial Parkway toward Yorktown. The birds are out there – Tundra Swans were reported today at Felgates Creek.
We’ll meet at the parking lot of the Target off Marquis Parkway (that’s at the east end of Rt. 199, east of I-64 exit 242, in the same shopping center as the Kohl’s and Best Buy) at 8 a.m., where participants can consolidate cars if they wish. We’ll end up in Yorktown, where there is a decent pub for hungry birders looking for lunch.

We had a crisp but nice morning for our forth Saturday bird walk at New Quarter Park. The rain held off until the walk was over! We had around 18 people attend. Several joining us were from the Cape Henry Audubon Society. We saw 47 species of birds! Several highlights were a pair of Greater yellowlegs in the marsh by the dock, several Common Goldeneye ducks and every species of woodpeckers normally found in our area this time of year! It was great having several members of the Cape Henry Audubon Society join us and lend us there expertise!
