Box 1225 Virginia Beach, Virginia 23451 INTRODUCTION College Creek Hawkwatch completed its 10th consecutive year of coverage in 2006 with a total of 11,103 hawks and vultures over 577 days and an average of nearly 12 birds per hour. The hawkwatch is located on the north shore of the James River, in James City County, near Williamsburg, directly across from Hog Island Wildlife Management Area, in Surry County, which is on the south shore, approximately 3-4 kilometers away. Hawks, vultures and other birds have been documented crossing the river during late winter and spring migration here, where the mouth of College Creek empties into the James River (Taber 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2002). It is the only regular late winter and spring hawkwatch in Virginia and it is a program of Coastal Virginia Wildlife Observatory. Data from the hawkwatch is gathered by the author and other volunteers and is submitted to the Hawk Migration Association of North America (HMANA). It is the most southerly of the eastern spring sites reporting to HMANA. The data from the first 10 years has been entered into the new HMANA database for the Raptor Population Index, a program with the goal of providing statistically significant data on a continent-wide scale. Flights at College Creek are usually from mid-morning to early afternoon and there is generally a steady, daily flow throughout the season. Volunteer coverage is provided by the author and others on a daily basis, except for days with rain, snow or strong winds. The protocol for counting migrating hawks and vultures is that birds are tallied as they cross the site headed north. No hawks have been seen crossing the river southward. Table 1 shows the season totals for each species for the first ten years of the hawkwatch.. Table 2 shows the totals of all species by month and the number of days of coverage. The coverage in June represents an attempt on four days in 2003 to search for Mississippi Kites, as they were reported frequently throughout the State in late May. DATA AND OBSERVATIONS Trends in bird species are difficult to assess at migration monitoring sites, unless very large numbers of migrants are seen moving past over many years, however the decline in American Kestrels does seem obvious at this site and is well-documented in recent years at many North American migration monitoring stations. Northern Harriers have been remarkably consistent during migration at the site, with a season high of 41 and a season low of 23, except for the 1998 season, when there were the Page 4 Vol. 78(1) THE RAVEN 2007 Table 1.

There have been eight days where more than 100 hawks and vultures have been counted. The highest total was 173 on 23 March 2003. The greatest diversity of hawk and vulture species on a single day has been 11 on 14 April 2003 and 27 April 2005. Data has been entered in the Hawkcount.org website for the HMANA Raptor Population Index Study. Details and comments for species are given below; standard alphabetic codes are given in parentheses, and are also used in accompanying tables. Black Vulture (BLVU) - recorded throughout the season, with a peak of 50 on 11 March 2006. Turkey Vulture (TUVU) - recorded throughout the season; by far the most numerous of the hawks and vultures recorded at College Creek; with a peak of 125 on 23 March 2003. Osprey (OSPR) - recorded throughout the season; counted very carefully to insure that only birds diplaying obvious migratory behavior are tallied as several pairs usually nest within sight of the hawkwatch on duck blinds, nautical markers and in trees; birds seen fishing are not counted; Ospreys are likely undercounted due to the conservative methodology; peak count of 21 on 17 March 1999.

  • Best Parks and Places
    Best Parks and Places If you’ve read Northern VA – What and Why, you know this area is one of the best in the country for dragonfly watching. Reviewing Habitat Tips will give you an idea of what makes good dragonfly habitat and the secrets to finding them. Maybe you’ve already found a great dragonfly park or natural area in your neighborhood, or have a list of rivers, ponds and meadows you’re excited to visit and explore. Following is a list of parks and places in Northern VA I consider some of the best sites for watching dragonflies. I’m sure I’ve missed many excellent sites, and encourage you to add to my list with your own explorations and favorite places. I’ve also purposefully left off a few sites due to issues with public access, property ownership, and/or fragile ecosystems with especially vulnerable flora and fauna. Please remember, wherever you explore, tread with respect and long-term conservation in mind. Let’s be stewards first, and collectors, photographers and listers second. Get to Know Your Community I live in Reston and have been impressed and excited to find 40 species within its borders! I’m sure thorough searches by fellow dedicated dragonfly geeks in and around other Northern VA communities could find similar results. Leesburg, Vienna, McLean, Quantico, Dumfries – every town has its hidden watershed jewels and biodiversity reservoirs. Sometimes it’s a wooded hillside and tiny stream system behind the local soccer field, maybe a protected natural area on the edge of your HOA with a marshy seep, or perhaps an unexplored swampy corner of some park or military base – see what secrets you can uncover.

    Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay Summary Report November 2018 Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay Summary Report Donna A. Milligan C. Scott Hardaway, Jr. Christine A. Wilcox Shoreline Studies Program Virginia Institute of Marine Science William & Mary This project was funded by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program at the Department of Environmental Quality through Grant # NA17NOS4190152 Task 92.02 of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, or any of its subagencies. November 2018 Page | 1 1 Introduction The Commonwealth of Virginia owns numerous tidal, waterfront properties along Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries including state parks, natural area preserves, and wildlife management areas. Many of these parks have eroding shorelines and are at risk from coastal hazards such as tidal flooding, waves, and sea level rise. These environmental threats impact the safety of park visitors and the mission of the parks. In an effort to address these issues for the parks as well as provide education to the public on living shoreline management strategies, eleven state parks with tidal shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries were selected because of their suitablility for living shoreline demonstration projects (Figure 1). These parks: Belle Isle, Caledon, Chippokes, First Landing, Kiptopeke, Leesylvania, Mason Neck, Middle Peninsula, Westmoreland, Widewater, and York River, are spread throughout the Chesapeake Bay and have a variety of coastal conditions due to their locations and underlying geology.
