Greetings all,
I learned about this upcoming Bird Walk at Shirley Plantation in
Charles City County and wanted to pass the info along. From their web
site:
Shirley Plantation’s birding expert and Williamsburg Bird Club member,
Tom McCary will lead a bird walk on Sunday, October 11, 2009,
beginning at 8:30 a.m.
Mr. McCary will guide birders on a behind the scenes, private tour of
areas of the plantation not open to the public.
These areas are ideal for bird watching and are usually off limits to
all except the Carter family.
Following the guided portion of the walk, participants can tour the
grounds of the historic area and continue their bird watching at their
leisure.
Reservations for the Bird Walk are required and there is a fee. Call
1-800-232-1613.
Shirley is located on Scenic Route 5, just 10 miles east of I-295 near
Richmond and 35 miles west of Williamsburg. For more information call
1-800-232-1613.
