>>>Hi Everyone,
>>>
>>>
>>>Do you ever get bored birding the same old sites? �Are you up for broadening your Birding horizons? �Fort�DuPont�is one of the best birding sites in DC and has a great mix of mature, tall Oak-Poplar forest and lower secondary forest. �The Park is only birded by a dedicated few, but has already�tallied 130 species. Some of the upland Oak forest is incredibly high quality and seems to have far less deer damage than Rock Creek Park. �Most of the trails are pretty level, but a few spots are a little up and down. �This is also one of the best places in DC to find Wild Turkey and has recorded 27 warbler species to date. �It is understandable that there are concerns about safety, but over the last 3 years I've birded the park I've never felt threatened, and nor have teams of bird banders working there. �

>>>So feel free to join me for about 2 hours at Fort�DuPont�Park,�7:30 am, Saturday, May 11th. �We'll�meet at the parking lot�off Ft. Dupont Drive SE, near Minnesota Ave, SE.. �
>>>

>>>Directions:��It is easiest to get to the Park by taking Pennsylvania Ave. Se and turning on to Minnesota Ave. �When you come to the Randle traffic circle, go around it until you come to Ft. Dupont Drive. �About a block up the road you'll see the parking lot on your left. �Here is a link to a map that highlights in red exactly were we will meet:�http://forums.mtbr.com/virginia-wv-maryland-dc-delaware/wash-dc-fort-dupont-group-ride-sun-jan-27-a-833988.html� If you get there late and the group has already left, we'll be birding the paved trail going east below the parking area.
