Bird Watching in Virginia Beach
Great Egret feeding chicks on Monkey Island
Bird watching - or birding - is the fastest growing hobby in the United States with over one third of Americans participating at some level. Here in Virginia Beach and northeastern North Carolina, birdwatchers have the opportunity to see hundreds of species of birds depending on the time of year. Birds from the arctic and the tropics pass through our area because we are situated along the Atlantic Flyway. The variety of birds to be seen is astounding. There are shorebirds on our strands and wading birds in the wetlands. Raptors soar through the air during the day as well as the night sky and our swamps and forests echo with birdsong. A most impressive sight is the island rookery in Currituck Sound where hundreds of pairs of wading birds raise their young each year.
