Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Chincoteague
National Wildlife Reserve
37.59 N 75.17 W
More famous for its ponies than its birds -- but that may soon change! This barrier island
is a last staging area each fall for Shorebirds on their way to South America. Thousands
of waterfowl spend the winter here.
Chesapeake Bay Bridge & Tunnel
37.00 N 76.02 W
Write or call for a letter that will permit you to stop on island 2,3 and 4 as you cross
the bridge/tunnel. Purple Sandpiper, Great Cormorant, Long-tailed Duck and all three
Scoters may fly by.
Great Falls Park
39.00 N 77.26 W
Just north of Washington, D.C., this park is in the Potomac River floodplain. Swamps and
deciduous forests are the primary habitat. Lots of warblers are the main attraction
for birders. Non-birders come to see the rocks and waterfalls.
Kiptopeke
State Park
37.15 N 75.98 W
Located at the tip of Cape Charles, this is the place to be in the fall. About 70,000
raptors fly overhead between September and November. The park is also great for fall
songbirds.
Shenandoah National Park
38.25 N 78.70 W
Skyline Drive is a beautiful experience. Birders like to explore the South River Falls
Trail around mile 63. Spring and summer are the best times to visit.
