Priscilla Erickson, RAS Field Trip Leader

Get to know the birds of Richmond and the Richmond Audubon Society with a beginner’s birding trip and Baltik's Bagels! This trip is primarily targeted at those who are new to RAS and/or new to birding. Meet at the entrance to The Wetlands section of the James River Park System (3395 Landria Dr.) at 9:00 am for bagels (while supplies last) and social time. We'll start birding around 9:30. Bring binoculars if you have access to them; some loaners may be available as well. Plan to walk ~1 mile on gravel trails. Email priscilla.erickson@richmondaudubon.org with questions.

RAS trips are open to all. RAS membership is encouraged but not required, and unless the trip specifies otherwise, you don't need to sign up. Please feel free to stay for as long as you want.

Meet voted-most-likely-to-bird 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.
