On Tuesday, May 6th, Reston’s Walker Nature Center has scheduled a trip to the G. Richard Thompson Wildlife Management Area in Fauquier County to search for migrating songbirds. GR Thompson is well known for its Trillium Trail, so we will also keep an eye out for trilliums, lady slippers and other spring wildflowers. After a morning at GR Thompson, we will head to Sky Meadows State Park for lunch and more birding. This trip includes walking on uneven terrain and gentle slopes.
The trip will be led by one of WNC’s naturalists and is open to Reston residents and non-residents. Cost, which includes bus transportation and any park fees, is $50 for Reston Association members and $65 for non-members. We will depart the Walker Nature Center (11450 Glade Drive) at 7:00 am and are scheduled to return by 4:00 pm. The time spent birding and observing wildflowers is eligible for FMN CEUs.
