This program is part of our Stretch Our Parks initiative, in partnership with the staff of Occoquan Bay NWR.
Join us for a family-friendly afternoon bird walk on the trails of the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
Your birding guide is Andreas Seiter, an experienced local birder, member of the Board of Directors of the Audubon Society of Northern Virginia, member of the Northern Virginia Bird Club and Virginia Society of Ornithology.
Meet at the Visitor Information Center, not the Central Parking Lot.
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 canceled.
Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge was established in June 1998 to provide habitat for migratory birds and endangered species. The refuge's diverse grassland, marsh and forest habitats attract a variety songbirds, raptors and waterfowl that depend on the area for food, nesting sites, and a place to rest.
