The Audubon Society of Northern Virginia and Mason Neck State Park are pleased to offer an April bird walk in Mason Neck State Park! This bird walk will be a loop of the Bayview Trail. This easy, 1 mi path is packed dirt and mostly flat with some stairs near the wetlands and beach.

We will meet up across from the children's playground. Follow signs for the Visitor's Center, then bear left when you see the brightly colored playground.

Newer and seasoned birders welcome.

Please note a parking fee ($10) or annual pass is required to enter the park.

If you have binoculars, please bring them with you.

Registration is recommended but not required. Registrants will get a reminder about the walk and will be notified via email if the walk is cancelled.

We will be documenting the birds we see in eBird and the leader will share the ebird list with you after the walk. If you don't already have an eBird account, you can sign up for a free one here: ebird.org/home
