Field Trip to Machicomoco State Park

Hi, folks.  The Williamsburg Bird Club’s March field trip will be next Saturday March 21, when we’ll visit Machicomoco State Park in Gloucester County.   Deborah Humphries will lead the group that day.  The weather forecast looks favorable.  Recent checklists from the park show a wide variety of species, including Tundra Swans, Horned Grebes, Osprey, Killdeer, and lots of Field Sparrows.  Last year, the group identified 45 species.

We’ll meet at the parking lot just inside the pay station at 8 a.m.  The park is located at 3601 Timberneck Farm Road, Hayes, VA 23072.  If you have a state park pass, please bring it.  Vehicles without a state park pass will pay a $5 fee.  If you’d like to carpool, or you are willing to drive others, please let me know at grm0803@gmail.com . Carpoolers should meet at the Colony Square Shopping Center a little after 7 a.m. for departure by 7:15 a.m.
