Andy,


I started birding at Chinc. in '78, on a naturalist-led walk. I hope they
still conduct them. You can call the refuge at 757-336-6122 for
schedules. You'll have a blast, though summer bugs--greenheads,
horseflies, and at dawn/dusk mosquitoes--can be REALLY bad if there's no
wind. There are also housefly-like flies that look harmless but hurt like
hell. So go armed with repellent or a good weather forcast. 


Good luck!


Howard

<excerpt>Folks,       I will be taking my frst trip to  Chincoteague this
summer (first week in June).  It is not primarily a  birding trip, but of
course, birding will happen.  Does anybody know how I  can find out if
there will be any organized field trips there?  Neither MOS  nor ANS will
be going there at that time.  I've also looked at the  Chincoteague NWR
web site and couldn't find any info about walks.  Does  anyone know if
there are regularly scheduled walks there?  Are there any  other bird
watching organizations I should look into?  Thanks for your help,  Andy
