The Middle Peninsula Bird Club will guide participants in a bird walk at 8 a.m. next Thursday, Oct. 18, at a large, private conservation property in Gloucester.

The property features mature mixed woods, open fields and a path to Cow Creek Mill Pond. Participants are invited to bring binoculars, scopes and cameras on this easy-walking event. Call Felicity at 804-815-1718 to register and receive directions.

Fall migration has begun for many birds, giving birding enthusiasts a chance to see species not normally seen in the area, a release stated. Participants are encouraged to bring insect repellent.

Cancellations due to weather will be posted on the club’s Facebook page. All levels of birders are welcome to participate; there are no fees. ...
