Eastern Shore Birding Festival 2015
October 8 - October 11, 2015
Cape Charles, VA
Held on the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula near Cape Charles, Virginia, the Eastern Shore Birding and Wildlife Festival celebrates the peak of fall bird migration in a pristine coastal environment.
The region is surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, which creates a natural “funnel” effect for migrating hawks, warblers and other songbirds in the Fall.
The festival includes lectures, field trips (by land and boat), kayaking tours, an oyster roast, photography contest, and other activities.
In addition to birding, visitors can explore historic Cape Charles and other seaside villages.

Virginia Wildlife Watching - Birds, Plants and More
In Virginia, there are forests, wildlife management areas, state parks, other areas where the public can view wildlife.
Virginia's woodlands, swamps and other habitats contain a wide variety plant life. Fall is an excellent time to explore these natural areas. Foliage can be spectacular along woodland trails. Oaks, maples, hickories and gums turn brilliant shades of red, orange and yellow.
During a wildlife watching walk, visitors might see songbirds, hawks, eagles, herons, woodpeckers or other birds. Along the Atlantic Flyway, ducks, geese, and shorebirds can often be spotted as woodlands meet rivers, streams, or cypress swamps. Hikers are often startled as waterfowl take flight in areas where woodlands and rivers intersect.
