Wildlife Activities
From the waterfowl and wading birds of the Eastern Shore to the abundance of warbler species that pass through the Blue Ridge Mountains each spring and fall, Virginia is a bird watchers paradise! In addition, you’ll find dozens of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and insect species waiting to be discovered, photographed, and enjoyed. While an abundance of wildlife can be found in the many state and national parks and forests, birders especially will want to check out the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail that contains dozens of locations and miles of nature hikes spread throughout the state for you to enjoy.
