NATURE
BIRD WALKS
16 years to adult. Free. No reservations required.
Beginning and expert birders are invited to search for birds in some of Reston’s most beautiful natural areas. We visit a variety of sites on a monthly basis. Our efforts produce a good variety of local birds, and we always have a great time. These walks are co-sponsored by the Audubon Society of Northern Virginia and The Bird Feeder store. There are no fees and reservations are not required. For dates and locations of the summer bird walks, contact naturecenter@reston.org or call 703-476-9689 and press 5.
