Classes, Workshops and Events
Join Greg Butcher, NVBA board member and recently retired migratory species coordinator for the U.S. Forest Service International Programs, for an introduction to waterfowl identification.
Are you new to birding and would like to improve your waterfowl identification skills? Join Greg Butcher and Larry Meade to view a wide assortment of waterfowl.
Vernal pools often are overlooked or considered insignificant as wetlands because of their small size. As a result, they are often filled in, drained, logged over, or polluted, making them a rare form of wildlife habitat around the country and in Virginia.
The Winter Waterfowl Count is a citizen science effort organized by Northern Virginia Bird Alliance to track data about winter waterfowl.
