Birds in the Swamp

Green Heron in the Swamp

The North Landing River is a magical ribbon of water in Southern Virginia Beach. A true southern blackwater river, it flows from the swamps and pocosins in the southern part of the city and joins the Currituck Sound just over the border in North Carolina. The habitat along the main stem of the river is primarily pocosin in the northern stretches and marsh in the southern. But if you explore the many creeks along the North Landing, you will encounter a third wetland type, forested swamp. One may observe many different species in each zone, and sometimes you are the one being watched. 

Schedule your ecotour to explore this environmental wonderland.
