Upcoming Events List
Rebecca Heisman will share some surprising stories from the history of bird migration research and discuss why understanding migration is so crucial for bird conservation.
Many know Northern Virginia for its economic dynamism, cultural development and ever-changing landscape. Less well known are the places sheltering remnants of an earlier, vital, natural history. If you would like to discover native birds, other fauna and flora — in the company of dedicated citizen scientists — then consider joining one or more of these continuing natural resource surveys.
Nature journaling is a terrific tool for understanding the world around you: species, habitats, and all of their rich interconnections. Join Robin Lee Carlson for a discussion of the ways that field sketching has been an integral part of her explorations of the natural world.
Butterfly and dragonfly surveys are carried out in temperate months (April-October), normally on Friday mornings, at one of four sites around Occoquan Bay, all within the 15-mile diameter circle established for the annual North American Butterfly Association's Annual Count.
Come join us and celebrate the return of Spring! All are welcome to join us for light refreshments at the beautiful Potomac Overlook Regional Park as we meet some live animal guests.

Spring warblers are some of the most exciting birds to see, but can be difficult to locate, observe and identify for newer (and even experienced) birders. Join us for a talk on the art of ‘warblering:’ you will learn where and when to look, which warblers you are likely to see and their distinctive field marks and behavior to help you find these elusive birds.

Did you know you don’t even need binoculars to explore the big world of birds? Often it is faster and easier to identify a bird by its song – if you know how to bird by ear.
