Field Trip Leader: VSO Leaders
I wanted to let other MBC members know about this upcoming field trip offered by the Virginia Society of Ornithology. Guy and I plan on attending and hope that others from the club would like to join us. We have attended several VSO trips and they are always well organized and lots of fun.
Join us June 7-9 in Warsaw for VSO’s summer field trip to the Northern Neck of Virginia! We’re working with Dr. Ashley Peele, State Coordinator for the second Virginia Breeding Bird Atlas (VABBA2), to schedule our next summer field trips in under-birded areas of Virginia. We welcome your eyes and ears as we search for signs of breeding birds in Warsaw, Tappahannock, and surrounding areas.
