FIELD TRIP

Leaders: Lynne Wheeler and Pam Brumbley

Join us for a bird walk on the Marsh Boardwalk at Piscataway Park. This is a beautiful and easy walk on a boardwalk that traverses tidal marshland along the Potomac River. It is approximately a 1.6 mile out-and-back trail. We will meet in the back parking area near the entrance of the trail – look for a gravel lane on the right (north) side of the road, at a break in a post-and-rail fence. Drive down the lane to a parking area. Along the way the trail to the boardwalk has wooded borders where we should see migratory birds. Once we access the boardwalk, we expect to see other avian species such as Red-headed Woodpeckers and Great Blue Herons along the marsh, gull species on the Potomac River, and field species at the end. Bald Eagles and raptors are prevalent. Pack a lunch if you would like to follow us after the walk to National Colonial Farm – Piscataway Park for a eat and chat session.
