Where

Program Location: Trailhead/Equestrian Parking Lot

When

Oct. 18, 2026. 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.

Take a guided walk with a ranger alongside golden meadow and autumn forest to find out who is out and about! In the fall, it's possible to see rare migrants as they make their way further south for the winter. For some birds, Virginia is their winter destination, while others stay here year-round. Practice identifying the wide range of species by their appearance, song, behavior, and even environmental context.

What to Expect:
The walk will be up to 1-2 miles on mostly flat terrain through both open meadow and shaded forest. Bring binoculars if you have them. If not, we do have a few pairs that can be borrowed.

Registration:
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.
