| Chuck Rafkind | | Deer on Yorktown Battlefield |
 |
The biological resources of Colonial NHP forests, fields and wetlands include a variety of birds, fish, mammals, aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates typical of the mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain. None of these resources are limited to the park, but parklands provide important habitat areas within the larger geographic area. From sightings of osprey and great blue herons to deer grazing in park fields, from beaver dams to the occassional fox or muskrat or woodpecker, there is something to delight the eye and ear of all visitors. Stop, look, listen, enjoy.

Did You Know?
On July 6, 1781, near Jamestown, the Marquise de Lafayette’s small American force fought General Cornwallis’s army at the Battle of Green Spring. Lafayette lost this, Virginia’s largest infantry battle of the war, but saved his army, enabling him to spy on the British army as it moved to Yorktown.
