Teams will be out and about on both Saturday 4 FEB and Sunday 5 FEB counting in Caroline, Essex, Middlesex, Richmond, Lancaster, Northumberland, Westmoreland and King George, Mathews, Gloucester, King & Queen and King William Counties.
In essence we are covering VA counties along the Potomac River, Rappahannock River, the Bay and the myriad of creeks, runs, rivers, ponds, and puddles that make the Middle Penninsula and the Northern Neck a “destination stop” for water fowl and avian species such as eagles, herons, hawks, rails, kingfishers, and fish crows! that are along the waters we love.
Beginners are welcome and will be assigned to a team. There is room for all who want to participate. And we have some amazing places to bird!
Please contact me to receive additional information about the Count and upcoming Waterfowl Identification Zoom Workshop scheduled for 30 January, 7 PM via ZOOM.
Workshop RSVP: In preparation for the count there will be a 75 minute workshop on 30 January at 7:00PM. The ZOOM session will cover a series of identification tips for some of the most challenging waterfowl and water birds we might see. Please let me know if you would also like to participate in the workshop.
