Every October we offer a series of programs all about birds: Octobird Fest! Whether you come to one program or all three, you’ll learn a lot about the amazing birds that call Virginia home. The first program in the series is a winter bird identification workshop on Zoom.

Every season brings its own challenges for birdwatching. In winter similar-looking sparrows can be hard to tell apart and birding by ear becomes more difficult as birds start singing less and calling more. Join the leaders of our bimonthly bird walks, including Executive Director Bert Harris, to learn some tips for identifying winter birds. Managing Director Eleanor Harris will quiz them with tricky calls and pictures and you can play along as they talk through the identification process! This program is intended for both beginner and advanced birders.

We will send a Zoom link closer to the date.
