Birding in the Meadow

Walk alongside lush meadows and forest edges with your park ranger guide to look and listen for grassland birds, forest birds, and soaring raptors. Colorful summer migrants have flown thousands of miles from Central or South America to raise their young in Virginia. Winter migrants have flown up north for the summer, while others are year-round residents. Let's see who is out and about!

What to Expect:
The walk will be up to 1.5 miles at a relaxed pace on mostly flat, sunny open terrain with frequent stopping. Wear comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and bring water. Bring binoculars if you have them. If not, we do have a few pairs of binoculars that can be borrowed.

While registration is not required for this program, it is recommended. If you register, we will be able to contact you if the program is cancelled due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
