Our next field trip will be to visit Locher Tract with Bill Hunley (774-2397)
and Mike Donahue (312-1604). Meet them at 8:00am at Botetourt Commons in front
of the Bojangles. Located in the Jefferson National Forest, the Locher Tract
is a managed wildlife habitat that contains woods, open fields, a beaver pond
and good views of the James River. We expect a good variety of birds, including
early migrants such as Pine Warbler, Wood Duck and Fox Sparrow. Locher Tract is
near Natural Bridge Station in Rockbridge County. There will be about one mile
of level walking.
