SUMMARY:New Year's Day Bird and Birder Show
DESCRIPTION:Please join birding enthusiasts Thursday\, January 1\, 2026\, at Chickahominy Riverfront Park for the “New Year’s Day Bird and Birder Show.” The 2026 gathering will be our club’s 20th “almost-annual” event. \nWe’ll convene at the shelter next to the park’s swimming pool from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. Relax and visit with new and familiar friends at the picnic tables or venture out around the park to find our wintering birds. The park provides wonderful access to check the river (from the fishing pier!) and Gordon Creek (from the boat launch) for our wintering waterfowl\, plus the woodland edges will yield our winter residents. \nThe address for Chickahominy Riverfront Park is 1350 John Tyler Highway\, Williamsburg\, VA 23185. You can find directions on the park’s website by clicking this link. \nBring visiting family\, friends\, and children; come early\, stay late\, or just drop by. Remember\, every bird is a year bird on New Year’s Day! I look forward to wel-\ncoming you to celebrate the start of 2026. \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count 2025
DESCRIPTION:The annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC) is one of the highlights of our bird club’s year. Sunday\, December 14\, 2025\, is the date for the WBC’s 49th CBC. We had 131 participants in last year’s CBC\, held just three days before Christmas Day. Many people were out of town\, so we hope the earlier date this year will allow more people to join in. Also\, if you remember\, last year’s count day was brutally cold. So\, let’s cross our fingers for better weather this year. If you’re unfamiliar with the Audubon Christmas Bird Count\, click this link to learn how it got started. Every year the count occurs December 14 through January 5. Since 1901\, Christmas Bird Counts in the U.S. and around the world have provided scientists and orni- thologists with information to identify trends in bird populations that can only be determined by LONG-term data. That’s why it’s so important to continue these studies EVERY YEAR. The CBC is an early- winter bird census. \nFor the first time\, you can sign up online for our Christmas Count and your preferred sector – or if you want to count your backyard birds. To sign up for a sector for the 2025 Christmas Bird Count for the Williamsburg sector\, please go to https://mobilize.us/s/AcJlIy

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Eastern Shore
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendar for our club’s annual birding trip to the Eastern Shore on Saturday\, October 18. Club members usually identify 50+ species during this field trip\, since we’re able to take advantage of a variety of habitats during fall migration. The Kiptopeke Hawkwatch is always a highlight. In addition\, some folks have expressed interest in arriving early to observe the Sunset Beach Morning Flight Count. \nMore details to follow.

SUMMARY:Field Trip: Ford’s Colony
DESCRIPTION:For the May field trip\, on Saturday\, May 17\, we’ll have a small group birding at Ford’s Colony\, my own neighborhood. Ford’s Colony has diverse habitat\, resulting in a pretty wide variety of birds visible in the community. Over the past several years\, I’ve been able to see more than 100 species annually. The species counts on recent bird walks have averaged over 40. Come see the Purple Martins! And we should have Green Herons\, White-eyed Vireos\, Acadian and Great Crested flycatchers\, and maybe a Prothonotary Wabler or two. Guests will need passes to enter Ford’s Colony\, so the group will be limited to the first twelve who respond. We’ll meet at the Westbury parking lot at 7:30 a.m. that morning. Specific directions will be sent to attendees closer to the date. If you would like to bird at Ford’s Colony\, please email George Martin at grm0803@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Spring Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:In some ways\, the spring count is easier than the Christmas Bird Count:\n\n\n\nWarmer weather — thank goodness!\nLonger daylight \nLess data to collect! We only want bird species and numbers of individuals. No need to count miles/hours walked or driving. Phew! We do not have to report   to National Audubon\nDifferent birds! Most of the winter ducks will be gone and some spring migrants and breeders will be here. Last spring we tallied 19 warbler species and a total of 153 species! WOW!\n\n\n\nThe 12 sectors are the same:\n\n\nCheatham Annex\nCollege Woods\nFords Colony\nGloucester\nHog Island\nJamestown\nJolly Pond\nKingsmill\nMiddle Plantation\nSkimino\nWaller Mill\nWarhill\n\n\nAt the end of the day\, we still want to know who participates on each team as well as the feeder counters.\n\nIf you participated recently (spring or Christmas counts)\, we hope you’ll join in again April 27 — in the field or at your feeder!\n\nI’ll be in touch with the Sector Leaders and ask them to reach out to their usual participants. And of course Feeder Watchers are important and needed.\n\nLook for more info closer to the date. I hope you’ll join us for one of the highlights of our Bird Club’s year.\n\n\nContact Shirley Devan if you have questions or want to join in for the first time.

SUMMARY:Field Trip to Chippokes State Park
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nIf 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.

SUMMARY:Field Trip to Machicomoco State Park in Gloucester
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, March 15\, we’ll visit Machicomoco State Park in Gloucester  County for a morning of birding.  Deborah Humphries will lead us through the different habitats at the park\, with viewing spots along the York River as well as fields and forests.  I look forward to seeing the myriad Field Sparrows at the park\, but there’s more!  The fields can also attract shorebirds\, and both Dunlin and Black-bellied Plover have been recorded at the park in the past week.  Ospreys?  We expect to see several\, and some might be carrying material to freshen up last year’s nest. \nWe’ll meet at the parking lot just past the entrance at 8 a.m.  The address for the park is 3601 Timberneck Farm Rd\, Hayes\, VA 23072.  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.   \nIf you have a state park pass\, bring that.  The entrance fee for those without passes is $5 per vehicle.

SUMMARY:Field Trip Along York River
DESCRIPTION:Rexanne Bruno will lead us at various sites along the York River.  In the past\, this trip has provided an opportunity to see several winter resident species\, including Tundra Swan\, Bonaparte’s Gull\, an occasional Clapper Rail\, and several deep-water ducks.  The fields around the Yorktown Battlefield also are good habitat for Eastern Meadowlark and American Kestrel. \nWe’ll meet in the parking lot of the Target at Marquis Parkway at 8 a.m.\, where we can consolidate cars for the morning.  The entrance to the parkway at the end of Rt 199 is closed\, so we’ll start by driving to Yorktown\, entering the parkway there\, and driving to Felgates Creek for our first stop.  We’ll then bird the sites on the way back to Yorktown Battlefield and the beach as we have in previous years.   And those getting hungry can meet for lunch at the Yorktown Diner after birding. \nHappy birding!
