Guided Bird Walk
Saturdays in November
10 am - 11 am
All Ages - Special Ticket Type
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!

Gratitude Walk
