April Field Trip: Newport News Park

On Saturday, April 15, Jason Strickland will lead us at Newport News Park.  The park in mid-April usually provides a first look at several newly-arrived migrants, such as Prothonotary Warblers, Eastern Kingbirds, and Great Crested Flycatchers.  There should also be lingering winter residents, like Yellow-rumped Warblers, which will be molting into their breeding plumage.  We’ll meet at the back of the parking lot by the ranger station at 8 a.m.  No carpooling on this one – it’s a pretty short drive from Williamsburg.
