Field Trip to Chippokes State Park
April 19 @ 7:00 am - 12:00 pm
For the Club’s April field trip, we’ll go to Chippokes State Park in Surry County. Nancy Barnhart will lead the group. Some summer breeders should have arrived, including Ovenbird, Yellow-throated Warbler, and Northern Parula.
The park also has a good population of Eastern Meadowlark. The trip from Williamsburg will require a ride on the Jamestown-Scotland ferry. We recommend you arrive at the ferry dock by 7:10 a.m. to catch the 7:20 a.m. departure. If you’d like to consolidate cars, please let George Martin know by email to grm0803@gmail.com, and plan to meet in the Jamestown Settlement parking lot a little after 7 a.m.
If you’re coming from southside, plan to meet at the main parking lot after the entrance on Chippokes Park Road by 8 a.m. If you have a state park pass, bring that. Without a pass, the entry fee is $7 per vehicle. And after birding, I suggest we meet for lunch at Surry Seafood.
