March can offer spectacular birding, marking a transition between winter and spring, Many of our winter birds, such as waterfowl and sparrows, are still around, but they are joined by early migrants returning to breeding territories. In this workshop we will discuss birds that occur here at this time of year, with a special focus on species that are migrating into our region and their arrival dates. An ancillary field trip offers a chance to encounter many of these birds in their natural settings. 

Note: While this program focuses on birds and birding techniques, we cannot be certain of any sightings. This is the joy and spontaneity of nature!

Larry Meade, ASNV Education Committee and President of Northern Virginia Bird Club, will lead.
