The
Northern
Neck of Virginia ,
located between the Potomac River to the north and the Rappahannock
River to the south, is home to some truly great birding.
Because
of its proximity to the Chesapeake Bay, its large expanses of undeveloped
land and wetlands, and the passion of the local community to protect
and preserve its natural treasures, the four counties of the Northern
Neck are a haven for over 250 species
of birds.
The habitats of this
area vary widely, from farmlands to high river bluffs, from beachfront
to river marshes. Many migrants pass through the area in the spring
or the fall, and are to be seen in the right places.
