Calendar

Join Shirley Devan New Year’s Day – Tuesday, January 1, 2019 – at the Greensprings Trail Boardwalk for the 14th Annual “New Year’s Day Boardwalk Bird Show.”

We’ll meet on the boardwalk on the “Main Loop” over the “Beaver Pond and Wetlands” from 1–3 pm (not the Virginia Capitol Trail boardwalk.) See map below.

Park in the lot at the end of Eagle Way, beyond Jamestown High School on John Tyler Highway. Come as you are; bring visiting family, friends and children; come early, stay late or just drop by. Celebrate the New Year with a birding adventure close to home with birding friends. Remember, every bird is a year bird on New Year’s Day! Hope to see you there.

Bob Schamerhorn will return to share his wonderful photographs in a talk entitled “Atlantic Coastal Birds.” The Atlantic Coastline contains a great diversity of bird species: Gulls,Terns, Skimmers, Sandpipers, Plovers, Herons, Egrets, Swans, Ducks, Geese, Mergansers, Grebes, Rails, and more. This wide variety of species, typical to the coast, will be discussed, intertwining beautiful photography with information about our favorite shorebirds, discussion of habitats, migration, and the challenges the species face. This program covers the coast from Maine to Florida and is a wonderful preview for our Chesapeake Bay boat trip on January 20th.
