RSVP to trip leader Paul DeAnna at (202) 544-2680. DC Audubon will visit Pennyfield Lock, part of the C&O Canal National Historical Park in Montgomery County, MD.

This area along the Potomac River is well known for an abundance of Spring migrants and a variety of breeding birds. We can expect several warblers, including Prothonotary, which breed here, and others just passing through. In addition, various Vireos, Tanagers, Orioles and other colorful songsters should be out in force. Meet at the Lock at 7:00 a.m.

On Saturday, May 10, join trip leader Dhananjaya Katju for a morning of birding at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens to celebrate International Migratory Bird Day. Participants should meet in the parking lot at 7:30 am.

On Sunday, June 1, 2008 DC Audubon will be fielding a birding trip to Little Bennett with Ted Vawter as group leader. Little Bennett is one of the better area parks in terms of breeding bird diversity (Veery, Kentucky and Blue-Wing Warbler, Yellow Throated Vireo among possibles) despite the fact that the area is undergoing a period of heavy development which has impacted species variety. Species such as Grasshopper Sparrow and Eastern Meadowlark, among others have become more difficult to find.
