Celebrate Birds - Big Sit at Algonkian Park
Loudoun Wildlife is excited to be partnering with NOVA Parks and the Virginia Society of Ornithology for a Big Sit at Algonkian Regional Park. What is a Big Sit? Some people have compared it to a tailgate party for birders where people see how many species of birds can be seen from one stationary location in 24 hours or less. Who should attend? Anyone interested in birding, from beginner to advanced. If you’re new to birding, you can learn more about it and meet other birders. If you’re an experienced birder, bring your skills and help us ID some species. This is a stationary location, so it’s great for people who aren’t interested in a long bird walk. Plus, we’ll be there all day, so it’s great for those who prefer to sleep late. In case of inclement weather, cancellation information will be posted on our website and Facebook page.
We will set up just west of the boat ramp with views of the river, a wildflower meadow, a grassy field, a wooded tree line, and wide-open sky. It is also close to the parking lot. (View location.) Folks will be there from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm counting bird species seen or heard. You can stop by for a few minutes to say hi or bring a chair and stay as long as you like. No registration required.
