Schwarz" Subject: Re: North Tract on Sunday MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Patuxent North Tract is open to ALL at 06:30 on Sunday, 26 October. It's not just the bird walk. This is a one-day-only deal. There will be other early openings at 6:30 on 3 November and 17 November. All other dates the gates open at 0800. Keep in mind that hunting is in effect all days except Sunday, which severely restricts access for all other uses. All visitors must check in at the Visitor Contact Station, one mile inside the gate, regardless of opening time. Note that closing time will shift to 4:30 p.m. beginning on Sunday. A Greater Yellowlegs and a female Wood Duck were present at Merganser Pond in the Wildlife Viewing Area at about 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday. I also encountered my first Golden-crowned Kinglet in the Wildlife Loop that day.
