Following is the tally from the October 12 bird walk at Riverbend Park, which
identified approximately 22 species and included five participants. Despite the
heavy wind there were highlights, including several Eastern Towhees and a
Riverbend first-of-season Hermit Thrush. Today's walk focused on the Conn's
Farm Meadow, with a brief hike to and from the park Visitors' Center.
The next walk will meet at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday October 20th (rain or shine),
in the parking lot at the Riverbend Park Nature Center (note, not the Visitors'
Center); please contact Riverbend Park on 703-759-9018 to register.
Participants should be prepared to walk about 2 miles in comfortable,
closed-toed shoes. There likely will be gentle uphill and downhill stretches on
slightly uneven terrain. All those with an interest in the natural world -
beginning or experienced birders - please join us.
