Come experience the changing of the seasons at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) by participating in one of our Guided Birding tours in the fall of 2024. Fall birding tours at the refuge highlight the returning migratory waterfowl. Don’t miss the opportunity to observe our diverse array of feathered friends, from woodpeckers and wading birds to numerous species of waterfowl and raptors, including the bald eagle. Prior bird knowledge is not required! Expert birders Terry Allen and Ron Ketter will help you identify and learn about the many species of birds that inhabit the refuge.
Guided Birding tours take place on the following Sunday mornings: November 17 with Terry Allen, November 24 with Ron Ketter, and December 15 with Terry Allen. In addition, a Guided Birding tour will be held on Saturday, December 28 with Ron Ketter. Participants will meet at the Blackwater NWR Visitor Center at 8:00 a.m. Tours may last 3 to 4 hours. The birding party typically tours via personal vehicle, stopping at various hotspots around the refuge’s Wildlife Drive.
Binoculars and field guides are highly recommended for an enjoyable experience. Be sure to dress for the weather. There is no fee or advanced registration for these activities. For further information, please call the Blackwater NWR Visitor Center at 410-228-2677 or visit our website at www.fws.gov/refuge/Blackwater.
