October is a great time for birding! Birds of all kinds are migrating south to reach their wintering grounds. In this experiential workshop at Occoquan Bay NWR, the pace will be leisurely as we learn how to spot and identify birds.

Your birding guide is Larry Meade. President of the Northern Virginia Bird Club and a member of the ASNV Adult Education Committee. He is a frequent bird walk leader and has been involved in numerous Audubon Christmas Bird Counts and North Atlantic Butterfly Association (NABA) counts. He is the compiler of the Alexandria Circle butterfly count for NABA.

This walk is FREE, but registration is required.
