Join visiting naturalists from Fairfax County for a guided birding walk as we explore the park and search for some of our feathered friends. The naturalists will provide a brief introduction to birding and demonstrate how to use binoculars before leading participants through the park. Attendees are welcome to bring their own binoculars, but limited pairs will be available to borrow. No birding experience is necessary!
