The beautiful Belle Isle
State Park was the perfect venue for the annual picnic
attended by over 50 members of our chapter on September
10th.
Lillian (Mike) Rothery,
a charter member of the Northern Neck Audubon Society
was in attendance. Mike & her late husband, Gus, were
the originators in this area of the early bluebird box
building effort. The nesting boxes were built in the
Rothery�s garage for several years and sold for a mere
$3.00. Mike taught �Beginning Birding� for many years &
she led numerous bird walks & is a past member of the
Board of Directors.
