The Audubon Society of Northern Virgina and Mason Neck State Park are pleased to offer a bird walk in Mason Neck State Park!

This bird walk is organized in partnership with Team Red, White and Blue, beginners and families are welcome. We will meet at the parking lot in the picnic area of Mason Neck State Park (follow the park road to the visitor center but turn left before you reach the center). We will look for birds near the visitor center, the Belmont Bay overlook and in the adjacent forest. Trails are flat, we will walk less than a mile.

Your birding guides are Andreas Seiter, member of the Board of Directors of the Audubon Society of Nothern Virginia, and Jeff Tessein, an experienced bird walk leader for ASNV and Reston Association.

Meet by the Visitor's Center.

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.
