Spring into Birding

Location of Powhatan State Park in Virginia

Where

Powhatan State Park, 4616 Powhatan State Park Rd., Powhatan, VA 23139.
Equestrian Parking

When

April 5, 2024. 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.

This is prime time for bird watching since the trees haven't yet grown their new set of leaves; the birds are now more visible when perching on branches. Some winter migrants may still be visiting from far up north, while others are year-round residents. Perhaps we'll even see some new arrivals from Central or South America. Take a guided walk with a ranger alongside meadow and forest to find out who is out and about. 

Bring binoculars if you have them. If not, we do have a few pairs of binoculars that can be borrowed. See attached file for a bird checklist to print at home. The walk will be up to one mile depending on the abilities of the group. We will move at an easy pace on moderate terrain. The trail can be muddy at times, so please wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting dirty.
