Calendar

The Williamsburg Bird Club will conduct our annual Spring Bird Count this year on Sunday, May 7. The Spring Bird Count is similar to the Christmas Bird Count, in which field teams and feeder watchers tally all of the birds they observe within our 15-mile diameter circle over a 24-hour period. More information about participating in the Spring Bird Count will be forthcoming as the count day approaches. For now, please consider saving the date and contact Jim Corliss (jcorliss240@cox.net) if you have any questions about how to participate.

The Club has been granted access for 15 members (maximum!) to visit Piney Grove Preserve on Saturday, May 13. This preserve in Sussex County is the home of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker, which Chance Hines described at our March meeting.

Chance will be leading us around the preserve. It will be EARLY—Chance recommends we take the 5:20 a.m. ferry to Surry. We will also need carpools because space for cars is very limited in the preserve.

Signups will be announced separately and will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

NOTE: This is the fourth Wednesday, not the third.

Meet in the parking lot near the park office. Bring binoculars or borrow some from the office. Free and open to the public.
