On May 12th, DC Audubon will take its annual spring field trip to Bombay Hook NWR in Delaware. This spectacular refuge contains mix of habitats: salt marshes, ponds, forests, and open fields. Bombay Hook is one of the best places in the Mid-Atlantic region to observe migrating shorebirds, including avocets, stilts, and dowitchers. Because of the habitat diversity, participants can expect to see many other land and water birds as well. Past DC Audubon field trips to Bombay Hook have sighted close to 90 species in one day. If time permits, we may visit another site along the Delaware coast after touring Bombay Hook. | ||

The National Geographic Society and National Park Service are organizing a BioBlitz in Rock Creek Park in May 2007. A BioBlitz is a 24-hour effort to record as many living species within the park as possible. Teams of scientists and volunteers of all specialties are needed to find and identify organisms. The event will highlight the diversity of life within an urban setting and provide information on how to preserve that diversity for future generations. The Rock Creek Park BioBlitz is the first in a series of ten BioBlitzes at National Parks around the country, in preparation for the Park Service's centennial in 2016. | ||
