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.

DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 26 at 6:30 p.m. for Bill Williams’s presentation on “The Birdlife of Virginia’s Colonial Historic Triangle: Then and Now.” The history of this community we call home continues to be researched\, catalogued\, and brought to life through rich and diverse contextual platforms. Our February program will explore one of those contexts through the natural history of its many-faceted birdlife and the people who have made that perspective vibrant and engaging. \nNote this is the fourth Wednesday. Postponed from the usual third Wednesday because of the weather.

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!

DESCRIPTION:From Cornell:\nEach February\, for four days\, the world comes together for the love of birds. Over these four days we invite people to spend time in their favorite places watching and counting as many birds as they can find and reporting them to us.

SUMMARY:Field Trip to Dutch Gap
DESCRIPTION:The Williamsburg Bird Club field trip to Dutch Gap Conservation Area is scheduled for next Saturday\, January 18.  We’ll meet in the parking area for the Henricus Historical Park at 9 a.m.  Rose Ryan will then lead our group around the impoundment area\, where there are usually large numbers of wintering ducks.  There’s been only one checklist posted to eBird since my note last weekend\, so I [George Martin] don’t have an update on the species present.  I plan to check out the park this week to make sure there’s still open water.  Based on our experience last year\, I expect there will be plenty of ducks even though some cold weather is forecast tor this week. \nThe current weather forecast calls for seasonal conditions – a little chilly at the start\, but warming.  I don’t think we’ll have to worry about ice cover on the impoundment.\n\nThe address for the park is 251 Henricus Park Road\, Chester\, VA 23836.  I won’t be arranging car pools for this field trip\, but please join up with other interested people to share rides.

SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count 2024
DESCRIPTION:We need you for our upcoming Dec 22 Christmas Bird Count (CBC). Last year\, 100 folks helped tally over 29\,000 birds on our CBC day—a record-breaking day for some species counts! \nWhat will we find this year? Rarities? High counts? Each count provides surprises. \nOur CBC has 11 sectors\, each with an experienced birder assisted by one or more volunteers. Plus\, over half of our contributors are feeder watchers. The boundaries of our count circle are shown in the map that accompanies this article. You can help on December 22 by joining a team in the field\, by counting birds at your feeders and yards\, or both. If you can help out\, please respond to Shirley Devan at shirley_devan@icloud.com to let her know your preference: out in the field\, feeder watcher\, or hybrid (some time for both). \nEvery year the count occurs December 14 to January 5. Since 1901\, Christmas Bird Counts in the U.S. and around the world have provided scientists and\nornithologists with important data and trends on 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.
