Field Trip: Brickyard Landing October 17

For the club’s October field trip, we’ll visit two parks in western James City County which we haven’t birded at previously as a club.  We’ll start at Brickyard Landing, a new park in the James City County system, and one which several bird club members have volunteered at.  The park has a native plant section, and frontage on the Chickahominy River.  We’ll meet there at 8 a.m.  The park address is listed at the end of this article.

We’ll then stop at Little Creek Reservoir Park, just a few minutes away.  This park has viewing access to the reservoir, along with a ½ mile trail.  It may be too early to see wintering ducks, but I expect the White-throated Sparrows and the Yellow-rumped Warblers should be there in force by then.
