Tuckahoe Creek Drop In
8:00 am
Diane Jadlowski and Alan Wingfield, RAS Field Trip Leaders
Join tag-team birders Diane Jadlowski and Alan Wingfield for monthly “drop-in” bird watching events at ever-favorite Tuckahoe Creek Park. They will be set up on the boardwalk observation deck keeping track of all the birds identified by sight or sound. Who knows what might happen by? Loaner binoculars, and help learning to use them, will be available. A spotting scope will be set up, and a list of observations posted. Stop by for as long or short as you please.
This event is particularly suitable for less experienced bird watchers, children, persons with mobility issues, and folks with limited time. The observation deck is about a hundred yards from the Old Coach Entrance to the Park, accessible by paved path and boardwalk. This will be a stationary event, with no further walking required. Dress for the weather, and hats are encouraged as the deck lacks shade. No facilities or water sources, so plan accordingly. Birding is for everyone! All are welcome!
For more information, contact Diane at djadski@gmail.com or 702.308.1953, and/or
Alan at adwingfield@outlook.com or 804.239.7558.

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 the birds. We typically spend around 3 hours here.
