Northern Virginia Birds is a new ASNV cooperative project by ASNV and several parks in Northern Virginia to encourage active participation in outdoor and environmental learning through the "entry point" of bird watching.

Check out some outstanding opportunities for beginning and intermediate bird watchers which can be found on the Field Trips page. Look for the Northern Virginia Birds logo.

The image at the top of this page is a Kaleidimal created by Marilyn Gaizband using a picture of a Cardinal, the Virginia state bird.
