Birding for Beginners

October 18 at 8am

At Huntley Meadows Park

Alexandria

🦆So many birds — herons, ducks, songbirds everywhere
🔭Bring binoculars for close-up wetland views
👶Keep small kids close — some boardwalk sections have no railings

Wander a winding boardwalk through lush wetlands while learning to spot herons, turtles, and songbirds. This guided morning walk turns curious newcomers into confident birders, one sighting at a time.
