Fall into Birding
Where
Powhatan State Park, 4616 Powhatan State Park Rd., Powhatan, VA 23139.
Playground Parking
When
Nov. 8, 2025. 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Take a guided walk with a ranger in the autumn woods to find out who is out and about. Fall is here, and that means the winter bird migrants are coming! For some species, Virginia is their southern winter retreat, while others stay here year-round. Learn about the different seasonal survival strategies and practice identifying birds by their appearance, song, behavior, and even environmental context.
The walk will be 1-1.5 miles at a slow pace with frequent stopping on mostly flat terrain. Please 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. Bringing water is always recommended!
