Events Calendar

Meet us at 10 a.m. on the OCL bridge for a guided birding and nature adventure! This time of year, millions of feathered travelers are passing through Virginia Beach on their way south, and Owl Creek is one of their favorite rest stops. We’ll watch wading birds hunt for breakfast, listen for morning songbirds, and maybe even catch an osprey or bald eagle diving for fish!

Along the way, you’ll learn how Owl Creek’s unique brackish waters connect to Rudee Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean, creating a thriving food web that supports all this amazing wildlife.

After the walk, stick around and enjoy the rest of Owl Creek Landing —the adventure doesn’t have to end when the tour does!

Join us for a peaceful, guided Gratitude Walk through the trees at Owl Creek Landing. Together, we’ll take time to slow down, connect with nature, and reflect on the things that bring us joy and gratitude this season.

Led by our outdoor guide, the walk includes gentle pauses for reflection, mindful breathing, and seasonal inspiration along the trail.

It’s the perfect way to celebrate November’s spirit of thankfulness with friends, family, or a quiet moment for yourself.
