Wes Teets, RAS Field Trip Leader
Meet adroit birder Wes Teets at the Henricus Historical Park parking lot at 8:00 am. This is one of our premier birding locations, with a great variety of habitats supporting myriad bird species. Expect 2 to 3 miles of slow-paced walking on paved roads and gravel trails, with several spots to stop and observe birds. We typically spend around 3 hours here. If the gate is closed, park at the boardwalk parking area right before the gate.
Contact Wes at ras776@posteo.net or 540-521-5379 for more information.
