Fall into Birding

Location of Powhatan State Park in Virginia

Where

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

When

Oct. 11, 2025. 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

Take a guided walk with a ranger alongside golden meadow and autumn forest to find out who is out and about! In the fall, it's possible to see rare migrants as they make their way further south for the winter. For some birds, Virginia is their winter destination, while others stay here year-round. Practice identifying the wide range of species by their appearance, song, behavior, and even environmental context.

The walk will be up to one mile at an easy pace on mostly flat terrain. Bring binoculars if you have them. If not, we do have a few pairs that can be borrowed. See attached file for a bird checklist to print at home. The trail can be muddy at times, so please dress accordingly.

Register here to let us know you're coming. We will contact you if the program is cancelled due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
