This bird walk has been postponed due to weather. Please check back for the new date.

This program is part of our Stretch Our Parks initiative, in partnership with Occoquan Bay NWR.

Meet at the Visitor Center.

Early December is prime time for waterfowl in northern Virginia, and Occoquan Bay NWR is one of the best places to see them. Greg Butcher, the walk leader, will have a spotting scope, but bring yours if you have one. 

Greg Butcher is the recently retired Migratory Species Coordinator for U.S. Forest Service International Programs. He is a Ph.D. ornithologist who has worked for the National Audubon Society, American Birding Association, Partners in Flight, Birders World magazine, and Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Greg is a recognized public speaker and interpreter for bird conservation and ecology worldwide.

Newer and seasoned birders welcome.  

This walk is FREE, but registration is required.
